If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit c7cbc892ce7193974b4db682849ab78b22d0fe39 Author: David Leadbeater <dgl@xxxxxx> Date: Fri Aug 26 14:56:57 2022 +1000 netfilter: nf_conntrack_irc: Tighten matching on DCC message [ 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.
