From 2a5b82751f73a0bf6f604ce56d34adba6da1b246 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Denis V. Lunev" Date: Wed, 1 Oct 2008 02:13:16 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: NULL pointer dereferrence in tcp_v6_send_ack The following actions are possible: tcp_v6_rcv skb->dev = NULL; tcp_v6_do_rcv tcp_v6_hnd_req tcp_check_req req->rsk_ops->send_ack == tcp_v6_send_ack So, skb->dev can be NULL in tcp_v6_send_ack. We must obtain namespace from dst entry. Thanks to Vitaliy Gusev for initial problem finding in IPv4 code. Signed-off-by: Denis V. Lunev Signed-off-by: David S.
