commit 2671fa4dc0109d3fb581bc3078fdf17b5d9080f6 upstream.

These sysctls point to global variables: - NF_SYSCTL_CT_MAX (&nf_conntrack_max) - NF_SYSCTL_CT_EXPECT_MAX (&nf_ct_expect_max) - NF_SYSCTL_CT_BUCKETS (&nf_conntrack_htable_size_user)

Because their data pointers are not updated to point to per-netns structures, they must be marked read-only in a non-init_net ns. Otherwise, changes in any net namespace are reflected in (leaked into) all other net namespaces. This problem has existed since the introduction of net namespaces.

This patch is necessarily different from the upstream patch due to the refactoring which took place since 5.4 in commit d0febd81ae77 ("netfilter: conntrack: re-visit sysctls in unprivileged namespaces").
