Subject[PATCH 2/2] net: ipv4: Fix a possible null-pointer dereference in fib4_rule_suppress()
Date
In fib4_rule_suppress(), there is an if statement on line 145 to check
whether result->fi is NULL:
if (result->fi)

When result->fi is NULL, it is used on line 167:
fib_info_put(result->fi);

In fib_info_put(), the argument fi is used:
if (refcount_dec_and_test(&fi->fib_clntref))

Thus, a possible null-pointer dereference may occur.

To fix this bug, result->fi is checked before calling fib_info_put().

This bug is found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by us.
