[PATCH] cipso: don't follow a NULL pointer when setsockopt() is called

[Paul Moore <pmoore@redhat.com>]

As reported by Alan Cox, and verified by Lin Ming, when a user
attempts to add a CIPSO option to a socket using the CIPSO_V4_TAG_LOCAL
tag the kernel dies a terrible death when it attempts to follow a NULL
pointer (the skb argument to cipso_v4_validate() is NULL when called via
the setsockopt() syscall).

This patch fixes this by first checking to ensure that the skb is
non-NULL before using it to find the incoming network interface.  In
the unlikely case where the skb is NULL and the user attempts to add
a CIPSO option with the _TAG_LOCAL tag we return an error as this is
not something we want to allow.

A simple reproducer, kindly supplied by Lin Ming, although you must
have the CIPSO DOI #3 configure on the system first or you will be
caught early in cipso_v4_validate():

	#include <sys/types.h>
	#include <sys/socket.h>
	#include <linux/ip.h>
	#include <linux/in.h>
	#include <string.h>

	struct local_tag {
		char type;
		char length;
		char info[4];
	};

	struct cipso {
		char type;
		char length;
		char doi[4];
		struct local_tag local;
	};

	int main(int argc, char **argv)
	{
		int sockfd;
		struct cipso cipso = {
			.type = IPOPT_CIPSO,
			.length = sizeof(struct cipso),
			.local = {
				.type = 128,
				.length = sizeof(struct local_tag),
			},
		};

		memset(cipso.doi, 0, 4);
		cipso.doi[3] = 3;

		sockfd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0);
		#define SOL_IP 0
		setsockopt(sockfd, SOL_IP, IP_OPTIONS,
			&cipso, sizeof(struct cipso));

		return 0;
	}
