Description

OpenBSD's bpf_validate() in sys/net/bpf_filter.c does some additional
checks to catch:

BPF programs with no instructions or with more than BPF_MAXINSNS
instructions;

BPF_STX and BPF_LDX|BPF_MEM instructions that have out-of-range offsets
(which could be made to fetch or store into arbitrary memory locations);

BPF_DIV instructions with a constant 0 divisor (that's a check also done
at run time).

Here's a patch to make the DragonFly BSD bpf_validate() match it.
