Patrick's point is that you're using "if (get.size >= INT_MAX /
sizeof(struct ipt_get_entries))"
So, did you find any chance that get.size * sizeof(struct
ipt_get_entries) >= INT_MAX ?

And, for the addition overflow, can it be caught by

"if (*len != sizeof(struct ipt_get_entries) + get.size)" ???
