The length of IP header is checked in the function nf_conntrack_in which calls
get_l4proto hook to detect bogus ip header. 
There is no where in the call stack to the function set_addr to check bogus
TCP header, and my code does the job:
+		th = (void *)iph + iph->ihl * 4;
+		datalen = skb->len - (iph->ihl * 4 + th->doff * 4);
+		/* check offset overflow */
+		if (addroff > datalen)
+			return  -1;
if th->doff be too big addroff will greater than datalen.

The problem of get_h225_addr lies in bogus taddr->ipAddress.ip, if this value
is too big, it may make the pointer p point to no exist address.

688                     if (nf_ct_l3num(ct) != AF_INET)
689                             return 0;
690                     p = data + taddr->ipAddress.ip;

Thanks for your time and effort
