Reported by Coverity (CWE-606, Untrusted loop bound), and actually harmless because we'll exit the option-scanning loop if the remaining length is not enough for a new option, instead of reading past the header. In any case, it looks like a good idea to explicitly check for reasonable values of option lengths.
