[PATCH net] net: dsa: bcm_sf2_cfp: fix NULL deref when port_num is out of bounds
From: Danesh Petigara

From: Justin Chen <justin.chen@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
bcm_sf2_cfp_rule_insert() validates port_num against
priv->hw_params.num_ports, but the bounds check was placed after the
calls to dsa_is_user_port() and dsa_is_cpu_port():
if (ring_cookie == RX_CLS_FLOW_DISC ||
!(dsa_is_user_port(ds, port_num) ||
dsa_is_cpu_port(ds, port_num)) ||
port_num >= priv->hw_params.num_ports)
Both helpers call dsa_to_port(), which iterates the port list and
returns NULL if no entry matches. With a user-supplied ring_cookie
large enough to produce an out-of-bounds port_num, dsa_to_port()
returns NULL and the immediate ->type dereference faults.
Move the bounds check first so dsa_is_user_port()/dsa_is_cpu_port()
are never reached with an invalid port_num.
Fixes: 4a5b85ffe2a0 ("net: dsa: use dsa_is_user_port everywhere")
