    [NET]: parse ip:port strings correctly in in4_pton · 83f03fa5
    Jerome Borsboom authored
    in4_pton converts a textual representation of an ip4 address
    into an integer representation. However, when the textual representation
    is of in the form ip:port, e.g. 192.168.1.1:5060, and 'delim' is set to
    -1, the function bails out with an error when reading the colon.
    
    It makes sense to allow the colon as a delimiting character without
    explicitly having to set it through the 'delim' variable as there can be
    no ambiguity in the point where the ip address is completely parsed. This
    function is indeed called from nf_conntrack_sip.c in this way to parse
    textual ip:port combinations which fails due to the reason stated above.
