I did not say this bug fix would be the last one.

But this check is definitely needed, otherwise xt_TCPMSS can iterate
whole memory, and either crash or scramble two bytes in memory, that do
not belong to the frame at all.

If tcp_hdrlen is 0 (can happen if tcph->doff is 0)

Then :

for (i = sizeof(struct tcphdr); i <= tcp_hdrlen - TCPOLEN_MSS; i +=
optlen(opt, i)) {

Can look at 4 GB of memory, until it finds a 0x02, 0x04  sequence.

It can also loop forever in some cases, depending on memory content.
