[PATCH net-next v3 1/3] 6lowpan: Fix null pointer dereference in UDP uncompression function

From: Tony Cheneau <hidden>
Date: 2012-07-11 16:52:55
Subsystem: ieee 802.15.4 subsystem, networking [general], the rest · Maintainers: Alexander Aring, Stefan Schmidt, Miquel Raynal, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

When a UDP packet gets fragmented, a crash will occur at reassembly time.
This is because skb->transport_header is not set during earlier period of fragment reassembly.
As a consequence, call to udp_hdr() return NULL and uh (which is NULL) gets
dereferenced without much test.
