[PATCH] ipv6: ip6_fib: fix possible null-pointer-dereference in ipv6_route_native_seq_show
From: Yi Zou
Date: Fri Nov 01 2024 - 00:48:47 EST
In the ipv6_route_native_seq_show function, the fib6_nh variable
is assigned the value from nexthop_fib6_nh(rt->nh), which could
return NULL. This creates a risk of a null-pointer-dereference
when accessing fib6_nh->fib_nh_gw_family. This can be resolved by
checking if fib6_nh is non-NULL before accessing fib6_nh->fib_nh_gw_family
and assign dev using dev = fib6_nh ? fib6_nh->fib_nh_dev : NULL;
to prevent null-pointer dereference errors.
