: Fix memory leak in ip_conntrack_ftp
PATCH 1/1 : Fix memory leak in ip_conntrack_ftp
Hi Dave,
this patch fixes a remotely triggerable memory leak in ip_conntrack_ftp. exp leaks when a FTP date connection to a host different from the client (FXP) is attempted and the loose option is not set. It should go in 2.6.10 in my opinion.
Regards
Patrick

I agree, I'll push this to Linus today.
Thanks.
