[PATCH 5.4 08/51] net: ice: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference in ice_bridge_setlink()

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

 



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.

Fixes: b1edc14a3fbf ("ice: Implement ice_bridge_getlink and ice_bridge_setlink")
