From 45e093ae2830cd1264677d47ff9a95a71f5d9f9c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard Alpe Date: Mon, 16 May 2016 11:14:54 +0200 Subject: tipc: check nl sock before parsing nested attributes Make sure the socket for which the user is listing publication exists before parsing the socket netlink attributes. Prior to this patch a call without any socket caused a NULL pointer dereference in tipc_nl_publ_dump().
