Hi Yasuyuki, Currently we get an oops with nf_conntrack_netlink + nf_conntrack_ftp because l3num is set to 0xFFFF for the expectation mask. At first sight, this is correct because l3num is u_int16_t, but the size of the layer-3 array of protocol handlers is AF_MAX (32). I could add some checking to verify that l3num is less than 32 in nf_conntrack_find_l3proto, but such checking is only required for nf_conntrack_ftp and further application helpers. AFAICS, this is the cleanest way to fix this problem. Any other suggestion?
