[PATCH linux-next] ipv4: Fix NULL deference in fnhe_remove_oldest()

From: Tim Gardner <hidden>
Date: 2021-09-02 16:32:34
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: networking [general], networking [ipv4/ipv6], the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, David Ahern, Ido Schimmel, Linus Torvalds

Coverity complains that linux-next commit 67d6d681e15b5 ("ipv4: make
exception cache less predictible") neglected to check for NULL before
dereferencing 'oldest'. It appears to be possible to fall through the for
loop without ever setting 'oldest'.
