Subject: netfilter: nf_conntrack_sip: fix wrong memory initialisation

From: Christophe Leroy <[email protected]>

commit da2f27e9e615d1c799c9582b15262458da61fddc upstream.

In commit 82de0be6862cd ("netfilter: Add helper array register/unregister functions"),
struct nf_conntrack_helper sip[MAX_PORTS][4] was changed to sip[MAX_PORTS * 4], so the memory init should have been changed to memset(&sip[4 * i], 0, 4 * sizeof(sip[i]));

But as the sip[] table is allocated in the BSS, it is already set to 0
