Commit8303b7e8f0("netfilter: nat: fix spurious connection timeouts") made nf_nat_icmp_reply_translation() use icmp_manip_pkt() as the l4 manipulation function for the outer packet on ICMP errors. However, icmp_manip_pkt() assumes the packet has an 'id' field which is not correct for all types of ICMP messages. This is not correct for ICMP error packets, and leads to bogus bytes being written the ICMP header, which can be wrongfully regarded as 'length' bytes by RFC 4884 compliant receivers. Fix by assigning the 'id' field only for ICMP messages that have this semantic.

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.
