Subject: [PATCH] can: check for null sk before deferencing it via the call to sock_net
Date: Fri, 8 Sep 2017 16:02:35 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170908150235.2931-1-colin.king@canonical.com> (raw)
From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>
The assignment of net via call sock_net will dereference sk. This
is performed before a sanity null check on sk, so there could be
a potential null dereference on the sock_net call if sk is null.
Fix this by assigning net after the sk null check. Also replace
the sk == NULL with the more usual !sk idiom.
Detected by CoverityScan CID#1431862 ("Dereference before null check")
Fixes: 384317ef4187 ("can: network namespace support for CAN_BCM protocol")
