[PATCH] nfc: Ensure presence of required attributes in the activate_target netlink handler

From: Mateusz Jurczyk
Date: Wed May 24 2017 - 06:42:55 EST


Check that the NFC_ATTR_TARGET_INDEX and NFC_ATTR_PROTOCOLS attributes (in
addition to NFC_ATTR_DEVICE_INDEX) are provided by the netlink client
prior to accessing them. This prevents potential unhandled NULL pointer
dereference exceptions which can be triggered by malicious user-mode
programs, if they omit one or both of these attributes.
