Conntrack helpers do not check for a potentially clashing conntrack
entry when creating a new expectation. Also, nf_conntrack_in() will
check expectations (via init_conntrack()) only if a conntrack entry
can not be found. The expectation for a packet which also matches an
existing conntrack entry will not be removed by conntrack, and is
currently handled inconsistently by OVS, as OVS expects the
expectation to be removed when the connection tracking entry matching
that expectation is confirmed.
It should be noted that normally an IP stack would not allow reuse of
a 5-tuple of an old (possibly lingering) connection for a new data
connection, so this is somewhat unlikely corner case. However, it is
possible that a misbehaving source could cause conntrack entries be
created that could then interfere with new related connections.
Fix this in the OVS module by deleting the clashing conntrack entry
after an expectation has been matched. This causes the following
nf_conntrack_in() call also find the expectation and remove it when
creating the new conntrack entry, as well as the forthcoming reply
direction packets to match the new related connection instead of the
old clashing conntrack entry.
