[PATCH 4.4 53/93] batman-adv: Avoid nullptr dereference in bla after vlan_insert_tag

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Mar 19 2020 - 09:38:12 EST


From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 10c78f5854d361ded4736c1831948e0a5f67b932 upstream.

vlan_insert_tag can return NULL on errors. The bridge loop avoidance code
therefore has to check the return value of vlan_insert_tag for NULL before
it can safely operate on this pointer.

Fixes: 23721387c409 ("batman-adv: add basic bridge loop avoidance code")
