Currently the getsockopt() requesting the cached contents of the syn packet headers will fail silently if the caller uses a buffer that is too small to contain the requested data. Rather than fail silently and discard the headers, getsockopt() should return an error and report the required size to hold the data.
Is there any chapter and verse on whether a "failed" getsockopt() may alter the items passed to it?
