[PATCH 17/18] netfilter: nfnetlink: check callbacks before using those in nfnetlink_rcv_msg

From: pablo@netfilter.org
Date: 2012-07-06 11:19:14
Also in: netfilter-devel
Subsystem: netfilter, networking [general], the rest · Maintainers: Pablo Neira Ayuso, Florian Westphal, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

From: Tomasz Bursztyka <redacted>

nfnetlink_rcv_msg() might call a NULL callback which will cause NULL pointer
dereference.
