[PATCH 2/7] batman-adv: Avoid nullptr dereference in dat after vlan_insert_tag

From: Simon Wunderlich <hidden>
Date: 2016-07-08 09:49:17
Also in: batman
Subsystem: batman advanced, the rest · Maintainers: Marek Lindner, Simon Wunderlich, Antonio Quartulli, Sven Eckelmann, Linus Torvalds

From: Sven Eckelmann <redacted>

vlan_insert_tag can return NULL on errors. The distributed arp table code
therefore has to check the return value of vlan_insert_tag for NULL before
it can safely operate on this pointer.

Fixes: be1db4f6615b ("batman-adv: make the Distributed ARP Table vlan aware")
