An nf_conntrack_helper from nf_conn_help may become NULL after DNAT.
Observed when TCP port 1720 (Q931_PORT), associated with h323 conntrack
helper, is DNAT'ed to another destination port (e.g. 1730), while
nfqueue is being used for final acceptance (e.g. snort).
This happenned after transition from kernel 4.14 to 5.10.161.
Workarounds:
* keep the same port (1720) in DNAT
* disable nfqueue
* disable/unload h323 NAT helper

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
