[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 <david@unsolicited.net>. [ 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 <johnpol@2ka.mipt.ru> Acked-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.
