Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 21/33] security: smack: Fix possible null-pointer dereferences in smack_socket_sock_rcv_skb()

From: Jia-Ju Bai <baijiaju1990@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit 3f4287e7d98a2954f20bf96c567fdffcd2b63eb9 ]

In smack_socket_sock_rcv_skb(), there is an if statement
on line 3920 to check whether skb is NULL:
    if (skb && skb->secmark != 0)

This check indicates skb can be NULL in some cases.

But on lines 3931 and 3932, skb is used:
    ad.a.u.net->netif = skb->skb_iif;
    ipv6_skb_to_auditdata(skb, &ad.a, NULL);

Thus, possible null-pointer dereferences may occur when skb is NULL.

To fix these possible bugs, an if statement is added to check skb.

These bugs are found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by us.
