Subject: [PATCH net-next 2/2] netfilter: nf_conntrack_amanda: reject port values above 65535
Date: Thu, 30 Apr 2026 21:45:15 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260430161515.3449513-3-rc@rexion.ai> (raw)

amanda_help() converts the result of simple_strtoul() to __be16 via
htons() without checking the parsed value fits in 16 bits. The
existing len > 5 guard limits strings to five digits, capping the
parseable range at 99999, but values 65536-99999 still silently
truncate on the htons() conversion.

Use an intermediate unsigned long and reject out-of-range values
before converting to network byte order.

Fixes: 16958900578b ("[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack/nf_nat: add amanda helper port")
