[ Upstream commit 3f4287e7d98a2954f20bf96c567fdffcd2b63eb9 ]
In smack_socket_sock_rcv_skb(), there is an if statement
on line 3920 to check whether skb is NULL:
if (skb && skb->secmark != 0)
This check indicates skb can be NULL in some cases.
But on lines 3931 and 3932, skb is used:
ad.a.u.net->netif = skb->skb_iif;
ipv6_skb_to_auditdata(skb, &ad.a, NULL);
Thus, possible null-pointer dereferences may occur when skb is NULL.
To fix these possible bugs, an if statement is added to check skb.
These bugs are found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by us.
