Subject: [PATCH] net/i40e: fix null dereference in raw flow item
Date: Mon,  9 Mar 2026 13:28:02 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260309132802.3094565-1-ciara.loftus@intel.com> (raw)

When a RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_RAW item is used with a non-zero length
and a NULL pattern pointer in either the spec or mask, a segfault
occurs as the pattern bytes are accessed unconditionally in a loop.
Add NULL checks for both spec->pattern and mask->pattern before entering
the loop that uses those fields.

Bugzilla ID: 1155
Fixes: 6ced3dd72f5f ("net/i40e: support flexible payload parsing for FDIR")
Cc: stable@dpdk.org
