[PATCH 4.15 23/47] ieee802154: 6lowpan: fix possible NULL deref in lowpan_device_event()

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

 



4.15-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>


[ Upstream commit ca0edb131bdf1e6beaeb2b8289fd6b374b74147d ]

A tun device type can trivially be set to arbitrary value using
TUNSETLINK ioctl().

Therefore, lowpan_device_event() must really check that ieee802154_ptr
is not NULL.
