From 1575e7ea018fec992b94a12a1a491ce693ae9eac Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pablo Neira Ayuso Date: Mon, 18 Aug 2008 21:30:55 -0700 Subject: netfilter: ctnetlink: fix double helper assignation for NAT'ed conntracks If we create a conntrack that has NAT handlings and a helper, the helper is assigned twice. This happens because nf_nat_setup_info() - via nf_conntrack_alter_reply() - sets the helper before ctnetlink, which indeed does not check if the conntrack already has a helper as it thinks that it is a brand new conntrack. The fix moves the helper assignation before the set of the status flags. This avoids a bogus assertion in __nf_ct_ext_add (if netfilter assertions are enabled) which checks that the conntrack must not be confirmed. This problem was introduced in 2.6.23 with the netfilter extension infrastructure.
