Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: nf_conntrack_sip: validate skb_dst() before
 accessing it

tc ingress and openvswitch do not guarantee routing information to be
available. These subsystems use the conntrack helper infrastructure, and
the SIP helper relies on the skb_dst() to be present if
sip_external_media is set to 1 (which is disabled by default as a module
parameter).

This effectively disables the sip_external_media toggle for these
subsystems without resulting in a crash.

[PATCH 5.10.y 1/2] netfilter: nf_conntrack_sip: remove net variable shadowing

[Sasha Levin]

From: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de>

[ Upstream commit 7970d6aaf710db166de98c5356a260089896fae5 ]

net is already set, derived from nf_conn.
I don't see how the device could be living in a different netns
than the conntrack entry.

Remove the extra variable and re-use existing one.
