[PATCH] net/mpls: fix missing NULL check in mpls_valid_fib_dump_req

From: sunichi

Date: Mon Mar 23 2026 - 03:16:48 EST


The attribute tb[RTA_OIF] is dereferenced without verifying if it is NULL.
If this attribute is missing in the user netlink message, it will cause a
NULL pointer dereference and kernel panic.

Add the necessary check before using the pointer to prevent the crash.
