Re: [netfilter-core] [PATCH 2.6.10 1/1] netfilter: fix crash on nat+icmppackets

The cause of the crash is that udp_manip_pkt reads *pskb into iph before calling skb_ip_make_writable, and fails to update iph after the call. Since skb_ip_make_writable may delete the original skb when it makes a copy, a page fault may occur when udp_manip_pkt later dereferences iph.

This bug has already been fixed in 2.6.11-rc.
