I guess this a fix for one of the vulnerabilities announced by netfilter
team at the beginning of August:
http://lists.netfilter.org/pipermail/netfilter-devel/2003-August/012151.html
(Conntrack list_del() DoS)

How about the second message posted on the same day? (NAT Remote DOS (SACK mangle)):
http://lists.netfilter.org/pipermail/netfilter-devel/2003-August/012152.html

Herbert, aren't you going to patch it as well?
Or maybe this is the bug fixed in kernel-source-2.4.3 (2.4.3-4), back in
April (Bug#94216)? (The urls in the bug report are not valid any more,
so I can't check.)

regards,

Marcin
