[PATCH] gro: check returned skb of napi_frags_skb() against NULL

From: Kaiyu Zhang
Date: Thu Jul 06 2023 - 09:08:24 EST


Some rogue network adapter and their driver pass bad skbs to GRO.
napi_frags_skb() detects this, drops these bad skbs, and return NULL
to napi_gro_frags(), which does not check returned skb against NULL
and access it. This results in a kernel crash.

A better approach to address these bad skbs would be to issue some
warnings and drop them, which napi_frags_skb() already does, and
move on without crashing the kernel.
