That doesn't look entirely correct:
Current implementation doesn't allow both duplicate or overlapping fragments 
either,
though it postpones it's detection till reassembly stage.
Might be something like that:
**ip_frag: hardened IP reassembly against malformed fragments.**

* Tolerate packets with duplicate fragments,
* Determine duplicate overlapping and oversized fragments at arrival. That 
change
   can cause multiple extra scans over already received fragments and might 
affect
   overall system throughput.
