Comment (by svens):
Disabling the checks in general is a bad idea IMHO, since then it would be
possible to read outside the allocated framememory. I think one possible
solution is to discard the rest of the frame if the
length is wrong, since we can't know the start of the next ie. discarding
only parts of the frame would have the advantage that only the data after
the wrong ie is not used, instead of dropping the complete frame.
