Subject: [patch 6/9] [PATCH] ctcm: avoid wraparound in length of incoming data
Date: Tuesday, March 24, 2009 - 5:29 am

From: Roel Kluin <roel.kluin@gmail.com>

Since the receive code should tolerate any incoming garbage, it
should be protected against a potential wraparound when manipulating
length values within incoming data. 
block_len is unsigned, so a too large subtraction will cause a
wraparound.
