Subject: [PATCH][next] mptcp: Avoid NULL dereference in mptcp_getsockopt_subflow_addrs()
Date: Mon, 20 Sep 2021 09:42:32 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210920154232.15494-1-tim.gardner@canonical.com> (raw)

Coverity complains of a possible NULL dereference in
mptcp_getsockopt_subflow_addrs():

861        } else if (sk->sk_family == AF_INET6) {
    	3. returned_null: inet6_sk returns NULL. [show details]
    	4. var_assigned: Assigning: np = NULL return value from inet6_sk.
 862                const struct ipv6_pinfo *np = inet6_sk(sk);

Fix this by checking for NULL.

[ I'm not at all sure this is the right thing to do since the final result is to
return garbage to user space in mptcp_getsockopt_subflow_addrs(). Is this one
of those cases where inet6_sk() can't fail ?]
