[PATCH net] net: bridge: fix a null pointer dereference in br_afspec

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



We might call br_afspec() with p == NULL which is a valid use case if
the action is on the bridge device itself, but the bridge tunnel code
dereferences the p pointer without checking, so check if p is null
first.
