It was reported that the Linux kernel sometimes logs: klogd: [2629147.402413] kernel BUG at net / netfilter / nf_conntrack_proto_tcp.c: 447! klogd: [1072212.887368] kernel BUG at net / netfilter / nf_conntrack_proto_tcp.c: 392 ipv4_get_l4proto() in nf_conntrack_l3proto_ipv4.c and tcp_error() in nf_conntrack_proto_tcp.c should catch malformed packets, so the errors at the indicated lines - TCP options parsing - should not happen. However, tcp_error() relies on the "dataoff" offset to the TCP header, calculated by ipv4_get_l4proto(). But ipv4_get_l4proto() does not check bogus ihl values in IPv4 packets, which then can slip through tcp_error() and get caught at the TCP options parsing routines. The patch fixes ipv4_get_l4proto() by dropping packets with bogus ihl value. The patch closes netfilter bugzilla id 771.
