From: Stephen Hemminger Date: Tue, 18 Apr 2006 00:27:11 +0000 (-0700) Subject: [IPV4]: ip_route_input panic fix X-Git-Tag: v5.15~55803^2 X-Git-Url: https://git.proxmox.com/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d2c962b8530b84f4e035df8ade7e35f353a57cbe;p=mirror_ubuntu-kernels.git [IPV4]: ip_route_input panic fix This fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6388 The bug is caused by ip_route_input dereferencing skb->nh.protocol of the dummy skb passed dow from inet_rtm_getroute (Thanks Thomas for seeing it). It only happens if the route requested is for a multicast IP address. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S.
