[Bug 538473] [NEW] conntrack related kernel crash in karmic when running IPv6 + ip6tables and KVM

[Tuomas Jormola]

Public bug reported:

Hi!

I was bitten a known bug that causes hard crash of the kernel on every
boot when I was testing my new IPv6 enabled setup. It's caused by a
memory corruption bug in connection tracking code and triggered when
having a bridged network interface having an IPv6 address assigned and
some firewall rules applied (I'm using shorewall6) and a KVM based
virtual machines are being started. The patch is quite simple, would it
be possible to get this included in the karmic kernel? It's already
fixed in lucid since 2.6.32-15.21 as it was fixed in the upstream
2.6.32-stable.
