Subject: [PATCH nft] json: fix error protagation when parsing binop lhs/rhs
Date: Fri, 28 Mar 2025 15:49:04 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250328144911.21966-1-fw@strlen.de> (raw)
Malformed input returns NULL when decoding left/right side of binop.
This causes a NULL dereference in expr_evaluate_binop; left/right must
point to a valid expression.
Fix this in the parser, else would have to sprinkle NULL checks all over
the evaluation code.
After fix, loading the bogon yields:
internal:0:0-0: Error: Malformed object (too many properties): '{}'.
internal:0:0-0: Error: could not decode binop rhs, '<<'.
internal:0:0-0: Error: Invalid mangle statement value
internal:0:0-0: Error: Parsing expr array at index 1 failed.
internal:0:0-0: Error: Parsing command array at index 3 failed.
Fixes: 0ac39384fd9e ("json: Accept more than two operands in binary expressions")
