If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Zhiling Zou commit bf79662bc85e820ac3b846e2f347da29fbf6ac95 upstream. TUNSETLINK allows a TUN device to change its link-layer type to ARPHRD_IEEE802154 without initializing ieee802154_ptr. lowpan_newlink() checks only the device type before dereferencing the pointer, so an RTM_NEWLINK request can trigger a NULL pointer dereference. Reject devices without ieee802154_ptr along with devices of the wrong type.
