Miika Komu posted a new comment:
The current way of handling the issue conflicts with RVS and also HIPv2
when it hits the trunk. I would suggest to revert this patch from the
trunk until its properly solved:

revno: 6363
committer: Diego Biurrun <diego@xxxxxxxxxx>
branch nick: trunk
timestamp: Tue 2012-03-27 14:51:53 +0200
message:
  hipfw: Reject I1 packets larger than the HIP header size.
  
  By accepting I1 packets that exceed the HIP header size we would open 
ourselves
  up to cross-firewall communication.  Hosts could exchange I1 packets between
  themselves and attach arbitrary payload after the HIP header.
modified:
  hipfw/conntrack.c
  hipfw/hipfw_defines.h
