From 816cd5b83e4d8f3c8106966e64a025408caee3f6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pau Koning Date: Tue, 12 Feb 2013 00:18:45 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] batman-adv: Fix NULL pointer dereference in DAT hash collision avoidance An entry in DAT with the hashed position of 0 can cause a NULL pointer dereference when the first entry is checked by batadv_choose_next_candidate. This first candidate automatically has the max value of 0 and the max_orig_node of NULL. Not checking max_orig_node for NULL in batadv_is_orig_node_eligible will lead to a NULL pointer dereference when checking for the lowest address.
