[PATCH 4.4 16/48] batman-adv: Avoid nullptr dereference in bla after vlan_insert_tag

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

 



commit 10c78f5854d361ded4736c1831948e0a5f67b932 upstream.

vlan_insert_tag can return NULL on errors. The bridge loop avoidance code
therefore has to check the return value of vlan_insert_tag for NULL before
it can safely operate on this pointer.

Fixes: 23721387c409 ("batman-adv: add basic bridge loop avoidance code")
