Subject: act_connmark: avoid crashing on malformed nlattrs with null parms
From: Etienne Noss <etienne.noss@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 52491c7607c5527138095edf44c53169dc1ddb82 ]
tcf_connmark_init does not check in its configuration if TCA_CONNMARK_PARMS
is set, resulting in a null pointer dereference when trying to access it.
