Subject: [PATCH net-next 10/10] net/hsr: Fix NULL pointer dereference on incomplete hsr_newlink() params.
Date: Fri, 4 Jul 2014 23:42:00 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <53B71FA8.2030809@alten.se> (raw)

If none of the slave interfaces are specified, struct nlattr *data[] may
be NULL. Make sure to check for that.

While I'm at it, fix the horrible error messages displayed when only one
of the slave interfaces isn't specified.
