From b506bc975f60f06e13e74adb35e708a23dc4e87c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dust Li Date: Mon, 1 Apr 2019 16:04:53 +0800 Subject: tcp: fix a potential NULL pointer dereference in tcp_sk_exit When tcp_sk_init() failed in inet_ctl_sock_create(), 'net->ipv4.tcp_congestion_control' will be left uninitialized, but tcp_sk_exit() hasn't check for that. This patch add checking on 'net->ipv4.tcp_congestion_control' in tcp_sk_exit() to prevent NULL-ptr dereference.
