As netlink_get_register() may return NULL, we must not pass the returned data unchecked to expr_set_type() as that will dereference it. Since the parser has failed at that point anyway, by returning early we can skip the useless statement allocation that follows in netlink_parse_ct_stmt(). Signed-off-by: Phil Sutter <phil@xxxxxx> --- Changes since v1: - Fix for the same problem in netlink_parse_meta_stmt(), too. - Print error message instead of silently failing. - Align coding style with other post netlink_get_register() checks. --- src/netlink_delinearize.c | 6 ++++++ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+) diff --git a/src/netlink_delinearize.c b/src/netlink_delinearize.c index 1a1cfbded4e1e..e3846a700ca8e 100644 --- a/src/netlink_delinearize.c +++ b/src/netlink_delinearize.c @@ -517,6 +517,9 @@ static void netlink_parse_meta_stmt(struct netlink_parse_ctx *ctx, sreg = netlink_parse_register(nle, NFTNL_EXPR_META_SREG); expr = netlink_get_register(ctx, loc, sreg); + if (expr == NULL) + return netlink_error(ctx, loc, + "No expression in register %u", sreg); key = nftnl_expr_get_u32(nle, NFTNL_EXPR_META_KEY); stmt = meta_stmt_alloc(loc, key, expr); @@ -562,6 +565,9 @@ static void netlink_parse_ct_stmt(struct netlink_parse_ctx *ctx, sreg = netlink_parse_register(nle, NFTNL_EXPR_CT_SREG); expr = netlink_get_register(ctx, loc, sreg); + if (expr == NULL) + return netlink_error(ctx, loc, + "No expression in register %u", sreg); key = nftnl_expr_get_u32(nle, NFTNL_EXPR_CT_KEY); stmt = ct_stmt_alloc(loc, key, expr); -- 2.8.2 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
