[PATCH] Fixes the null pointer deferences in nsim_bpf

From: Dipendra Khadka
Date: Fri Nov 10 2023 - 14:21:46 EST


Syzkaller found a null pointer dereference in nsim_bpf
originating from the lack of a null check for state.

This patch fixes the issue by adding a check for state
in two functions nsim_prog_set_loaded and nsim_setup_prog_hw_checks
