Subject: off by one in update_nl_seq()

net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_ftp.c
   321  /* We don't update if it's older than what we have. */
   322  static void update_nl_seq(struct nf_conn *ct, u32 nl_seq,
   323                            struct nf_ct_ftp_master *info, int dir,
   324                            struct sk_buff *skb)
   325  {
   326          unsigned int i, oldest = NUM_SEQ_TO_REMEMBER;

Should this be oldest = NUM_SEQ_TO_REMEMBER - 1;?  The array is 
defined as:
u_int32_t seq_aft_nl[IP_CT_DIR_MAX][NUM_SEQ_TO_REMEMBER];

   327
   328          /* Look for oldest: if we find exact match, we're done. */
   329          for (i = 0; i < info->seq_aft_nl_num[dir]; i++) {
   330                  if (info->seq_aft_nl[dir][i] == nl_seq)
   331                          return;
   332
   333                  if (oldest == info->seq_aft_nl_num[dir] ||
   334                      before(info->seq_aft_nl[dir][i],
   335                             info->seq_aft_nl[dir][oldest]))  

Line 335 has the possible array out of bounds I am concerned about. 

regards,
dan carpenter
