[PATCH net 05/15] ipvs: reject FTP control ports as data ports

[Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>]

From: Zihan Xi <zihanx@nebusec.ai>

The FTP helper must not treat a configured control port as a data port.
Accepting such a port can leave IPVS connections in a state that leads
to recursive expiration and kernel stack exhaustion.

Reject zero and configured control ports before creating passive data
connections. For active mode, reject a zero client port and a derived
data port that is itself a configured control port.

Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
