From f707ef61e17261f2bb18c3e4871c6f135ab3aba9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sabrina Dubroca Date: Tue, 28 Aug 2018 13:40:53 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] net: rtnl: return early from rtnl_unregister_all when protocol isn't registered rtnl_unregister_all(PF_INET6) gets called from inet6_init in cases when no handler has been registered for PF_INET6 yet, for example if ip6_mr_init() fails. Abort and avoid a NULL pointer deref in that case. Example of panic (triggered by faking a failure of register_pernet_subsys): general protection fault: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN PTI [...] RIP: 0010:rtnl_unregister_all+0x17e/0x2a0 [...] Call Trace: ? rtnetlink_net_init+0x250/0x250 ? sock_unregister+0x103/0x160 ? kernel_getsockopt+0x200/0x200 inet6_init+0x197/0x20d Fixes: e2fddf5e96df ("[IPV6]: Make af_inet6 to check ip6_route_init return value.")
