Subject: [PATCH 1/1] iptables: Fix crash on malformed iptables-restore
Date: Wed, 17 May 2017 16:47:41 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1495039661-9178-1-git-send-email-ojford@gmail.com> (raw)

Fixes the crash reported in Bugzilla #1131 where a malformed
parameter that specifies the table option can create an invalid
pointer.

Improves the tables option check to find a beginning '-' followed by
a 't' anywhere in the parameter.
