I initially noticed this because of the compiler warning below, but it does
seem to be a valid concern in the case where ct_sip_get_header() returns 0
in the first iteration of the while loop.

net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_sip.c: In function 'sip_help_tcp':
net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_sip.c:1379: warning: 'ret' may be used uninitialized in this function

Thanks Simon. I've applied the patch, but changed NF_DROP to
NF_ACCEPT since we should avoid dropping packets with unknown
contents (not SIP) if possible.

Thanks, to be honest I was a bit unsure of what policy was best.

Hi Patrick,

I'm not seeing this patch in nf-next-2.6.
Am I looking in the wrong place?

I was struggling with some file system corruption and didn't manage
to send it out in time, sorry. I'll include it in the next batch of
patches for .36 and will also push it to -stable.

Thanks, I'm happy so long as it makes it eventually.
