Hmm, why?  AFAICS the bug was there from start:

11eeef41d5f63 case OSF_WSS_MODULO:
11eeef41d5f63    if ((window % f->wss.val) == 0)
11eeef41d5f63        fmatch = FMATCH_OK;

So:
Fixes: 11eeef41d5f6 ("netfilter: passive OS fingerprint xtables match")

Could you send a v2 that rejects this from control plane instead?
Nobody is using a 0 value, else we'd have gotted such crash reports by
now.
