From 1f305323ff5b9ddc1a4346d36072bcdb58f3f68a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Evgeniy Polyakov Date: Tue, 20 Nov 2007 04:27:35 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [NETFILTER]: Fix kernel panic with REDIRECT target. When connection tracking entry (nf_conn) is about to copy itself it can have some of its extension users (like nat) as being already freed and thus not required to be copied. Actually looking at this function I suspect it was copied from nf_nat_setup_info() and thus bug was introduced. Report and testing from David . [ Patrick McHardy states: I now understand whats happening: - new connection is allocated without helper - connection is REDIRECTed to localhost - nf_nat_setup_info adds NAT extension, but doesn't initialize it yet - nf_conntrack_alter_reply performs a helper lookup based on the new tuple, finds the SIP helper and allocates a helper extension, causing reallocation because of too little space - nf_nat_move_storage is called with the uninitialized nat extension So your fix is entirely correct, thanks a lot :) ] Signed-off-by: Evgeniy Polyakov Acked-by: Patrick McHardy Signed-off-by: David S.
