[PATCH net-next v3 0/4] netfilter: conntrack: shared port parser for helpers

[HACKE-RC <rc@rexion.ai>]

Both nf_conntrack_irc and nf_conntrack_amanda parse port numbers from
application-layer data using simple_strtoul(), which requires
NUL-terminated input and returns unsigned long without range validation.

This series introduces two shared helpers in the conntrack core:

  nf_ct_helper_parse_uint() -- generic bounded integer parser that
    operates on a length-delimited buffer without requiring NUL
    termination.

  nf_ct_helper_parse_port() -- calls nf_ct_helper_parse_uint() with
    max=65535 and rejects port zero.

Patches 2 and 3 convert IRC and Amanda to use nf_ct_helper_parse_port().
Patch 4 converts the two port-parsing sites in nf_conntrack_sip to use
nf_ct_helper_parse_port() as well, retaining the SIP-specific minimum
port check (>= 1024).

v3: add nf_ct_helper_parse_uint() as the generic base; nf_ct_helper_parse_port()
    is now a thin wrapper; extend the series with a fourth patch converting
    nf_conntrack_sip (Phil Sutter)
v2: replace simple_strtoul() with a shared nf_ct_helper_parse_port()
    in the conntrack helper core, modelled on 8cf6809cddcb (Florian Westphal)
v1: inline range checks in IRC and Amanda

HACKE-RC (4):
  netfilter: conntrack: add shared port and uint parsers for helpers
  netfilter: nf_conntrack_irc: use nf_ct_helper_parse_port()
  netfilter: nf_conntrack_amanda: use nf_ct_helper_parse_port()
  netfilter: nf_conntrack_sip: use nf_ct_helper_parse_port()
