If a non local multicast packet reaches ip_route_input_rcu() while the ingress device IPv4 private data (in_dev) is NULL, we end up doing a NULL pointer dereference in IN_DEV_MFORWARD(). Since the later call to ip_route_input_mc() is going to fail if !in_dev, we can fail early in such scenario and avoid the dangerous code path. v1 -> v2: - clarified the commit message, no code changes Reported-by: Tianhao Zhao <tizhao@redhat.com> Fixes: e58e41596811 ("net: Enable support for VRF with ipv4 multicast") Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
