This risk exists without a NAT configuration as well: the system can
allocate a port to connect as a client which'd match KaZaA's standard
listening port.

For this reason, the pool of ports the system will use to connect
as a client sits between 32768 and 61000 (on machines with at least
128M memory, as the docs say) and that can be checked and modified
in /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range. Windows might have something
similar in the registry.
