Subject: [PATCH 4.19 37/58] netfilter: nf_conntrack_irc: Tighten matching on DCC message

From: David Leadbeater <dgl@....cx>

[ Upstream commit e8d5dfd1d8747b56077d02664a8838c71ced948e ]

CTCP messages should only be at the start of an IRC message, not
anywhere within it.

While the helper only decodes packes in the ORIGINAL direction, its
possible to make a client send a CTCP message back by empedding one into
a PING request.  As-is, thats enough to make the helper believe that it
saw a CTCP message.

Fixes: 869f37d8e48f ("[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack/nf_nat: add IRC helper port")
