Subject: [PATCH net-next 08/11] netfilter: conntrack: check NULL when retrieving ct extension
Date: Sun, 14 Jun 2026 13:46:02 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260614114605.474783-9-pablo@netfilter.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260614114605.474783-1-pablo@netfilter.org>

nf_ct_ext_find() might return NULL if ct extension is not found.

Add also the null checks to:

- nfct_help()
- nfct_help_data()
- nfct_seqadj()
- nfct_nat()

This is defensive, for safety reasons.

nf_ct_ext_find() used to return NULL if the extension is stale for
unconfirmed conntracks if the genid validation fails.

Skip NULL check in nf_nat_inet_fn() given this is valid to be NULL
for non-initialized ct nat extensions.

While at it, fetch ct helper area in nf_ct_expect_related_report() only
once and pass it on to other ancilliary functions. Replace WARN_ON()
by WARN_ON_ONCE() in nf_ct_unlink_expect_report().
