From 5c804bfdcca2593422dd6edc2d7db4dba645543c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Patrick McHardy Date: Tue, 5 Dec 2006 13:46:13 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [NET_SCHED]: cls_fw: fix NULL pointer dereference When the first fw classifier is initialized, there is a small window between the ->init() and ->change() calls, during which the classifier is active but not entirely set up and tp->root is still NULL (->init() does nothing). When a packet is queued during this window a NULL pointer dereference occurs in fw_classify() when trying to dereference head->mask; Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy Signed-off-by: David S.
