ipv4: fib: Fix NULL pointer deref during fib_sync_down_dev()
Michał reported a NULL pointer deref during fib_sync_down_dev() when unregistering a netdevice. The problem is that we don't check for 'in_dev' being NULL, which can happen in very specific cases. Usually routes are flushed upon NETDEV_DOWN sent in either the netdev or the inetaddr notification chains. However, if an interface isn't configured with any IP address, then it's possible for host routes to be flushed following NETDEV_UNREGISTER, after NULLing dev->ip_ptr in inetdev_destroy(). To reproduce: $ ip link add type dummy $ ip route add local 1.1.1.0/24 dev dummy0 $ ip link del dev dummy0 Fix this by checking for the presence of 'in_dev' before referencing it.
