Drop packets forwarded via TCP if they are too big (CVE-2013-1428).

Drop packets forwarded via TCP if they are too big (CVE-2013-1428).

Normally all requests sent via the meta connections are checked so that they
cannot be larger than the input buffer. However, when packets are forwarded via
meta connections, they are copied into a packet buffer without checking whether
it fits into it. Since the packet buffer is allocated on the stack, this in
effect allows an authenticated remote node to cause a stack overflow.
