From: Theodor Arsenij Larionov-Trichkine <redacted>
A fib expression in a netdev egress base chain dereferences nft_in(pkt),
NULL on the transmit path, causing a NULL pointer dereference at eval.
nft_fib_validate() masks the hook with NF_INET_* values, but netdev hook
numbers are a separate enum that aliases them (NF_NETDEV_EGRESS ==
NF_INET_LOCAL_IN), so an egress chain passes validation and then faults.
Add nft_fib_netdev_validate() that limits each result/flag to the netdev
hook where the device it reads exists: the input-device cases (OIF,
OIFNAME, ADDRTYPE with F_IIF) to ingress, the output-device case (ADDRTYPE
with F_OIF) to egress, ADDRTYPE with no device flag to both. Also restrict
nft_fib_validate() to NFPROTO_IPV4/IPV6/INET so its NF_INET_* masks are
not applied to another family's hooks.
