Subject: [PATCH net] mpls: fix NULL deref in mpls_valid_fib_dump_req() on CONFIG_INET=n
Date: Sun, 12 Jul 2026 15:09:03 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260712220903.3131568-1-xmei5@asu.edu> (raw)

On CONFIG_INET=n, mpls_valid_fib_dump_req()'s local strict-check loop
enters the RTA_OIF arm on the index alone and calls nla_get_u32(tb[i]).
Since nlmsg_parse_deprecated_strict() leaves tb[i] NULL for any omitted
attribute, a dump without RTA_OIF dereferences NULL and oopses.

Skip unset attributes before dispatching on the index, mirroring
ip_valid_fib_dump_req().

  Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address
