Bug#396399: kernel-image-2.6.8-3-686: ipt_ULOG gives "error during NLMSG_PUT"

[Voxel User <dpates@voxel.net>]

Package: kernel-image-2.6.8-3-686
Version: 2.6.8-16sarge5
Severity: normal

In the process of attempting to use the ULOG iptables target and ulogd,
I found that there is a problem with the ipt_ULOG module preventing it
from actually working. Any time a ULOG target rule is reached, the
following messages appear in the kernel message log:

ipt_ULOG: Error building netlink message
ipt_ULOG: error during NLMSG_PUT

After some searching, I found a solution to the problem at:

http://oss.sgi.com/archives/netdev/2004-10/msg01026.html

This includes a patch against net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_ULOG.c that
correctly calculates the netlink message size, allowing the ULOG target
to function as designed.
