An ICMP packet with type destination or host not reachable also carries
28 bytes of ICMP data field. This data field contains IP header and TCP
header (partial first 8 bytes) of the original packet for which ICMP
is being generated.

Conntrack module when processing these ICMP packets checks for TCP header
length (20 bytes). Since TCP header is partial the length check fails and
packet is erroneously dropped.

This patch fixes length check for TCP header when processing ICMP data
fields.
