ip_vs_ftp_get_addrport() accumulates decimal digits into a __u16
(hport) and into unsigned char (p[]) without checking for overflow.
A crafted FTP PASV/EPSV response with an over-long port or address
octet wraps the value, so the helper configures the data connection
with a truncated port/address.
The netfilter conntrack FTP helper had the same defect, fixed in
commit 2b413fc689ba ("netfilter: nf_conntrack_ftp: avoid u16
overflows"). Apply the equivalent fix here: widen the port accumulator
to u32 and reject values above 65535, and reject address octets above
255.
