3.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Florian Westphal <fw@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 442fad9423b78319e0019a7f5047eddf3317afbc upstream.
Userspace can cause kernel panic by not specifying orig/reply
tuple: kernel will create a tuple with random stack values.
Problem is that tuple.dst.dir will be random, too, which
causes nf_ct_tuplehash_to_ctrack() to return garbage.
