Subject: [PATCH nf-next v4 2/4] netfilter: nf_conntrack_irc: use nf_ct_helper_parse_port()
Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2026 13:15:01 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260923131501.2934482-1-rc@rexion.ai> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260923091608.2617604-1-rc@rexion.ai>
parse_dcc() stored the result of simple_strtoul() directly into a u16
*port, so a DCC port above 65535 was silently truncated (e.g. 65537
became 1), creating a conntrack expectation for a port that never
appeared in the DCC command.
Use nf_ct_helper_parse_port(), which parses the length-delimited buffer
without relying on NUL termination and rejects port 0 and values above
65535.
Fixes: 869f37d8e48f ("[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack/nf_nat: add IRC helper port")
