Let me check this with more attention. Please, would you give a try to this patch? Thanks!
netfilter: nf_conntrack: fix ct refcount leak in l4proto->error() This patch fixes a refcount leak of ct objects that may occur if l4proto->error() assigns one conntrack object to one skbuff. In that case, we have to skip further processing in nf_conntrack_in(). With this patch, we can also fix wrong return values (-NF_ACCEPT) for special cases in ICMP[v6] that should not bump the invalid/error statistic counters.
