From 673498b8ed4c4d4b7221c5309d891c5eac2b7528 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stefan Tomanek Date: Tue, 10 Dec 2013 23:21:25 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] inet: fix NULL pointer Oops in fib(6)_rule_suppress This changes ensures that the routing entry investigated by the suppress function actually does point to a device struct before following that pointer, fixing a possible kernel oops situation when verifying the interface group associated with a routing table entry. According to Daniel Golle, this Oops can be triggered by a user process trying to establish an outgoing IPv6 connection while having no real IPv6 connectivity set up (only autoassigned link-local addresses).
