That is not true, 2.2.9-ac1 came out before the DOS was discovered.
Hmm... so why is the fix there? Perhaps it the bug wasn't there at all.
The excerpt below is from the net/ipv4/ip_options.c from -ac1:
error:
if (skb) {
icmp_send(skb, ICMP_PARAMETERPROB, 0, htonl((pp_ptr-iph)<<24));
kfree_skb(skb);
