[PATCH net 4/9] netfilter: nf_conntrack_sip: validate skb_dst() before accessing it

From: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de>
Date: 2026-06-30 04:53:31
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: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>

tc ingress and openvswitch do not guarantee routing information to be
available. These subsystems use the conntrack helper infrastructure, and
the SIP helper relies on the skb_dst() to be present if
sip_external_media is set to 1 (which is disabled by default as a module
parameter).

This effectively disables the sip_external_media toggle for these
subsystems without resulting in a crash.

Fixes: cae3a2627520 ("openvswitch: Allow attaching helpers to ct action")
Fixes: b57dc7c13ea9 ("net/sched: Introduce action ct")
