ppp: clarify parsing of user supplied data in ppp_set_compress()
* Split big conditional statement. * Check (data.length <= CCP_MAX_OPTION_LENGTH) only once. * Don't read ccp_option[1] if not initialised. Reading uninitialised ccp_option[1] was harmless, because this could only happen when data.length was 0 or 1. So even then, we couldn't pass the (ccp_option[1] < 2 || ccp_option[1] > data.length) test anyway. Signed-off-by: Guillaume Nault <g.nault@alphalink.fr> Signed-off-by: David S.
