[PATCH 2.6.32 49/62] NET: ROSE: Dont dereference NULL neighbour pointer.

From: Willy Tarreau
Date: Sat Sep 12 2015 - 19:14:39 EST


2.6.32-longterm review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ralf Baechle <ralf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit d496f7842aada20c61e6044b3395383fa972872c upstream.

A ROSE socket doesn't necessarily always have a neighbour pointer so check
if the neighbour pointer is valid before dereferencing it.
