[PATCH 4.4 24/27] pkcs7: Prevent NULL pointer dereference, since sinfo is not always set.

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Oct 24 2017 - 09:00:47 EST


4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Eric Sesterhenn <eric.sesterhenn@xxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 68a1fdbbf8bd3378325e45c19e167a165f9ffc3a upstream.

The ASN.1 parser does not necessarily set the sinfo field,
this patch prevents a NULL pointer dereference on broken
input.

Fixes: 99db44350672 ("PKCS#7: Appropriately restrict authenticated attributes and content type")
