Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: nf_conntrack_ftp: prevent integer overflows in get_port()

From: Mansour Moufid <mansourmoufid@...il.com>

This patch prevents potential integer overflows from occurring in the
port number parsing function `get_port', in the file
net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_ftp.c; related constants are defined in
include/linux/kernel.h. This applies to stable version 2.6.38.5.

The concern is a firewall could be made to open an otherwise closed
port. For example, get_port("65558?", 0, 6, '?', foo) currently
returns 22 in *foo.
