* netfilter-queue: Incorrect UDP checksum computation in nfq_udp_compute_checksum_ipv4

Hi all,

the function nfq_udp_compute_checksum_ipv4 (src/extra/udp.c) does not 
compute the correct UDP checksum.
The issue is caused by the called function checksum_tcpudp_ipv4() 
(src/extra/checksum.c) that uses the hard coded protocol id IPPROTO_TCP 
which is fine for TCP but fails for UDP.
A possible solution might be to pass the protocol id (IPPROTO_TCP / 
IPPROTOC_UDP) as parameter to the function checksum_tcpudp_ipv4().

The very same is also true for the IPv6 versions of these functions.

Any feedback is welcome.

Best regards

Mathias

Would you send us a patch to fix this? Thanks!

It looks as if the line-structure of the patch is broken.
I have attached the patch as file to this mail.
