From: Rand Deeb <rand.sec96@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 06e456a05d669ca30b224b8ed962421770c1496c ] The function ice_bridge_setlink() may encounter a NULL pointer dereference if nlmsg_find_attr() returns NULL and br_spec is dereferenced subsequently in nla_for_each_nested(). To address this issue, add a check to ensure that br_spec is not NULL before proceeding with the nested attribute iteration.
