Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netlabel: Fix NULL pointer exception caused by CALIPSO on IPv4 sockets
When calling netlbl_conn_setattr(), addr->sa_family is used
to determine the function behavior. If sk is an IPv4 socket,
but the connect function is called with an IPv6 address,
the function calipso_sock_setattr() is triggered.
Inside this function, the following code is executed:
sk_fullsock(__sk) ? inet_sk(__sk)->pinet6 : NULL;
Since sk is an IPv4 socket, pinet6 is NULL, leading to a
null pointer dereference.
This patch fixes the issue by checking if inet6_sk(sk)
returns a NULL pointer before accessing pinet6.
