You cannot trust the information that is available in the header. If
this is bogus this check will be defeated. That's why we pass this
protoff parameters to each function.

You also refer to get_h225_addr() in your description. That function
always copies 4 or 16 bytes, so I would appreciate if you can describe
the possible issue further.

Thanks.
