[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 --- commit 07aac6f7b7e43bc1bb960b2f41a02e81d4e25ead tree 523108861c92ec7e513fbc8561a57b5e1c56c1eb parent d916faace3efc0bf19fe9a615a1ab8fa1a24cd93 author Patrick McHardy Mon, 04 Dec 2006 16:29:07 +0100 committer Patrick McHardy Mon, 04 Dec 2006 16:29:07 +0100 net/sched/cls_fw.c | 3 ++- 1 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/net/sched/cls_fw.c b/net/sched/cls_fw.c index f59a2c4..c797d6a 100644 --- a/net/sched/cls_fw.c +++ b/net/sched/cls_fw.c @@ -101,9 +101,10 @@ static int fw_classify(struct sk_buff *s struct fw_head *head = (struct fw_head*)tp->root; struct fw_filter *f; int r; - u32 id = skb->mark & head->mask; + u32 id = skb->mark; if (head != NULL) { + id &= head->mask; for (f=head->ht[fw_hash(id)]; f; f=f->next) { if (f->id == id) { *res = f->res;
