iptables audit target causes kernel panic with iptables-persistent (kernel 3.2.78)

Hello, I see kernel panic with iptables-persistent package installed and one iptables rule with AUDIT target. root@debian7:~# uname -a Linux debian7 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.78-1 x86_64 GNU/Linux root@debian7:~# dpkg -l | grep iptables ii iptables 1.4.14-3.1 ii iptables-persistent 0.5.7+deb7u1 Steps to reproduce: 1) Install Debian 7 and iptables-persistent (see versions above) 2) Add iptables rule (must be OUTPUT chain): root@debian7:~# iptables -I OUTPUT -j AUDIT --type ACCEPT 3) Save rule: root@debian7:~# iptables-save > /etc/iptables/rules.v4 4) Reboot 5) Kernel panic (screenshot): https://www.dropbox.com/s/db40e5kc10e4ddg/kernel_panic2.png?dl=0 I cannot reproduce it on (one of) previous kernel version: lev@debi7:~$ uname -a Linux debi7 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.73-2+deb7u2 x86_64 GNU/Linux lev@debi7:~$ dpkg -l | grep iptables ii iptables 1.4.14-3.1 ii iptables-persistent 0.5.7+deb7u1 -Lev
