[PATCH] ipv6: ip6_fib: fix null-pointer dereference in ipv6_route_native_seq_show()
Posted by Yi Zou 3 weeks ago
Check if fib6_nh is non-NULL before accessing fib6_nh->fib_nh_gw_family
in ipv6_route_native_seq_show() to prevent a null-pointer dereference.
Assign dev as dev = fib6_nh ? fib6_nh->fib_nh_dev : NULL to ensure safe
handling when nexthop_fib6_nh(rt->nh) returns NULL.

Fixes: 0379e8e6a9ef ("ipv6: ip6_fib: avoid NPD in ipv6_route_native_seq_show()")

Are you just sending this patch because nexthop_fib6_nh() may return
NULL? Not sure it can happen since we know we're walking a v6-only
table here.

Please try to crash it and add a stack trace to the commit message. 

BTW your last posting was white space damaged. Stick to git send-email
