[PATCH 2/2] fix several unaligned kernel accesses in the CIPSO engine

2007-06-07 Thread Paul Moore
IPv4 options are not very well aligned within the packet and the format of a CIPSO option is even worse. The result is that the CIPSO engine in the kernel does a few unaligned accesses when parsing and validating incoming packets with CIPSO options attached which generate error messages on certain
