4.16-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Alexander Aring <aring@xxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit d57493d6d1be26c8ac8516a4463bfe24956978eb ] This patch checks if sk buffer is available to dererence ife header. If not then NULL will returned to signal an malformed ife packet. This avoids to crashing the kernel from outside.
