Thanks for catching this and submitting a patch.  Unfortunately
checking taglen/optptr[1] isn't going to help with the NOP and EOL
options as they are single byte options.  I think a for-loop like the
following, or something similar, is probably the better solution:

  for (optlen = iph->ihl*4 - sizeof(struct iphdr); optlen > 0; ) {
         switch (optptr[0]) {
         case IPOPT_CIPSO:
                 return optptr;
         case IPOPT_END:
                 return NULL;
         case IPOPT_NOOP:
                 taglen = 1;
                 break;
         default:
                 taglen = optptr[1];
         }
         optlen -= taglen;
         optptr += taglen;
  }
