     TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->tcp_gso_segs value was subject to an integer overflow
     when handling TCP Selective Acknowledgments (SACKs). A remote attacker
     could use this to cause a denial of service. (bsc#1137586)

     certain TCP Selective Acknowledgment (SACK) sequences. A remote attacker
     could use this to cause a denial of service. (bsc#1137586)
