Subject: [PATCH net 1/2] openvswitch: check for null return for nla_nest_start
Date: Wed, 18 Jul 2018 09:12:15 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180718161216.27820-2-sthemmin@microsoft.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180718161216.27820-1-sthemmin@microsoft.com>

The call to nla_nest_start in conntrack can lead to a NULL
return so it's possible for attr to become NULL and we can potentially
get a NULL pointer dereference on attr.  Fix this by checking for
a NULL return.

Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=200533
Fixes: 11efd5cb04a1 ("openvswitch: Support conntrack zone limit")
