Subject: [PATCH 6.12.y] net: sched: fix TCF_LAYER_TRANSPORT handling in tcf_get_base_ptr()
Date: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 14:43:48 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260415214348.850171-1-chelsyratnawat2001@gmail.com> (raw)
From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>
[Upstream commit 4fe5a00ec70717a7f1002d8913ec6143582b3c8e]
syzbot reported that tcf_get_base_ptr() can be called while transport
header is not set [1].
Instead of returning a dangling pointer, return NULL.
Fix tcf_get_base_ptr() callers to handle this NULL value.
