I found the problem in the netfilter code. In the file ipt_TOS.c the following code is wrong; if(!nskb) return NF_DROP; *pskb = nskb; <---this should be down 1 line kfree_skb(*pksb); <-- pointer is freed here iph = (*pksb)->nh.iph; <-- freed pointer is used here. The following patch fixes the problem. --- linux/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_TOS.c.orig Mon Dec 17 00:33:50 2001 +++ linux/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_TOS.c Mon Dec 17 00:34:18 2001 @@ -27,8 +27,8 @@ struct sk_buff *nskb = skb_copy(*pskb, GFP_ATOMIC); if (!nskb) return NF_DROP; - *pskb = nskb; kfree_skb(*pskb); + *pskb = nskb; iph = (*pskb)->nh.iph; } _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
