commit 40413955ee26 ("Cipso: cipso_v4_optptr enter infinite loop") fixed
a possible infinite loop in the IP option parsing of CIPSO. The fix
assumes that ip_options_compile filtered out all zero length options and
that no other one-byte options beside IPOPT_END and IPOPT_NOOP exist.
While this assumption currently holds true, add explicit checks for zero
length and invalid length options to be safe for the future. Even though
ip_options_compile should have validated the options, the introduction of
new one-byte options can still confuse this code without the additional
checks.

I tend to think that you reach a point where you simply need to trust
that the stack is doing the right thing and that by the time you hit a
certain point you can safely assume that the packet is well formed,
but I'm not going to fight about that here.

Regardless of the above, I don't like how you're doing the option
length check twice in this code, that looks ugly to me, I think we can
do better.  How about something like this:

  for (...) {
    switch(optptr[0]) {
    case IPOPT_END:
      return NULL;
    case IPOPT_NOOP:
      taglen = 1;
    default:
      taglen = optptr[1];
    }
    if (taglen == 0 || taglen > optlen)
      return NULL;
    if (optptr[0] == IPOPT_CIPSO)
      return optptr;
    ....
  }
                optlen -= taglen;
                optptr += taglen;
        }
