4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 22c74764aa2943ecdf9f07c900d8a9c8ba6c9265 ] If a non local multicast packet reaches ip_route_input_rcu() while the ingress device IPv4 private data (in_dev) is NULL, we end up doing a NULL pointer dereference in IN_DEV_MFORWARD(). Since the later call to ip_route_input_mc() is going to fail if !in_dev, we can fail early in such scenario and avoid the dangerous code path. v1 -> v2: - clarified the commit message, no code changes Reported-by: Tianhao Zhao <tizhao@xxxxxxxxxx> Fixes: e58e41596811 ("net: Enable support for VRF with ipv4 multicast") Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@xxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: David Ahern <dsahern@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
