Back in 2008, Adam Langley fixed the corner case of packets for flows
having all of the following options : MD5 TS SACK
Since MD5 needs 20 bytes, and TS needs 12 bytes, no sack block
can be cooked from the remaining 8 bytes.
tcp_established_options() correctly sets opts->num_sack_blocks
to zero, but returns 36 instead of 32.
This means TCP cooks packets with 4 extra bytes at the end
of options, containing unitialized bytes.
Fixes: 33ad798c924b ("tcp: options clean up")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
