From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Currently pointer table is being dereferenced on a null check of table->must_restore_filters before it is being null checked, leading to a potential null pointer dereference issue. Fix this by null checking table before dereferencing it when checking for a null table->must_restore_filters.
