-     dccp: handle invalid feature options length
-     
-     A length of zero (after subtracting two for the type and len fields) for
-     the DCCPO_{CHANGE,CONFIRM}_{L,R} options will cause an underflow due to
-     the subtraction.  The subsequent code may read past the end of the
-     options value buffer when parsing.  I'm unsure of what the consequences
-     of this might be, but it's probably not good.

+ Integer underflow in the dccp_parse_options function
+ (net/dccp/options.c) in the Linux kernel before 2.6.33.14 allows remote
+ attackers to cause a denial of service via a Datagram Congestion Control
+ Protocol (DCCP) packet with an invalid feature options length, which
+ triggers a buffer over-read.

-     dccp: Process incoming Change feature-negotiation options
-     
-     This adds/replaces code for processing incoming ChangeL/R options.
-     The main difference is that:
-      * mandatory FN options are now interpreted inside the function
-       (there are too many individual cases to do this externally);
-      * the function returns an appropriate Reset code or 0,
-        which is then used to fill in the data for the Reset packet.
-     
-     Old code, which is no longer used or referenced, has been removed.
