Subject: [iproute2 2/2] ss: fix NULL pointer access when parsing unix sockets with oldformat
Date: Sun,  7 Jan 2018 02:31:50 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180106183150.10530-2-a@unstable.cc> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180106183150.10530-1-a@unstable.cc>

When parsing and printing the unix sockets in unix_show(),
if the oldformat is detected, the peer_name member of the sockstat
object is left uninitialized (NULL).
For this reason, if a filter has been specified on the command line,
a strcmp() will crash when trying to access it.

Avoid crash by checking that peer_name is not NULL before
passing it to strcmp().

To crash ss, simply execute the following on a system using the old
socket format:
ss -x dst 192.168.1.1
or
ss dst 192.168.1.1

(crash reproduced on linux-4.12.12)
