2.6.30-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Patrick McHardy commit 8d8890b7751387f58ce0a6428773de2fbc0fd596 upstream. The RCU protected conntrack hash lookup only checks whether the entry has a refcount of zero to decide whether it is stale. This is not sufficient, entries are explicitly removed while there is at least one reference left, possibly more. Explicitly check whether the entry has been marked as dying to fix this.
