Subject: [PATCH nf] netfilter: bridge: ebt_redirect: don't assume bridge port exists
Date: Mon,  1 Jun 2026 11:50:00 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260601095000.595383-1-fw@strlen.de> (raw)

ebt_redirect_tg() dereferences br_port_get_rcu() return without a
NULL check, causing a kernel panic when the bridge port has been
removed between the original hook invocation and an NFQUEUE
reinject.

Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
Reported-by: Hacking <eilaimemedsnaimel@gmail.com>
