Subject: [PATCH] Improve sanity checks on injected packets
Date: Tue,  9 Oct 2007 21:30:40 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1191979843181-git-send-email-linville@tuxdriver.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <11919798433964-git-send-email-linville@tuxdriver.com>

From: warmcat <andy@warmcat.com>

Michael Wu noticed that the skb length checking is not taken care of enough when
a packet is presented on the Monitor interface for injection.

This patch improves the sanity checking and removes fake offsets placed
into the skb network and transport header.
