Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: route: fix possible null-pointer-dereference in ip6_route_info_create
In the ip6_route_info_create function, the variable fib6_nh is
assigned the return value of nexthop_fib6_nh(rt->nh), which could
result in fib6_nh being NULL. Immediately after this assignment,
there is a potential dereference of fib6_nh in the following code:
if (!ipv6_addr_any(&cfg->fc_prefsrc)) {
struct net_device *dev = fib6_nh->fib_nh_dev;
This lead to a null pointer dereference (NPD) risk if fib6_nh is
NULL. The issue can be resolved by adding a NULL check before the
deference line.
