| |
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.
