[iproute PATCH v2 7/7] lib/libnetlink: Don't pass NULL parameter to memcpy()

flat view
STALE3346d

From: Phil Sutter <phil@nwl.cc>
Date: 2017-08-21 17:08:44
Subsystem: library code, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Morton, Linus Torvalds

Both addattr_l() and rta_addattr_l() may be called with NULL data
pointer and 0 alen parameters. Avoid calling memcpy() in that case.
