net: appletalk: fix NULL pointer dereference in aarp_send_ddp()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: appletalk: fix NULL pointer dereference in aarp_send_ddp() aarp_send_ddp() calls atalk_find_dev_addr(dev) in the LocalTalk fast path without checking for NULL. When the device has no AppleTalk interface configured (dev->atalk_ptr == NULL), this leads to a NULL pointer dereference at the at->s_net access. KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000000-0x0000000000000007] RIP: 0010:aarp_send_ddp (net/appletalk/aarp.c:552 (discriminator 2)) Call Trace: <TASK> atalk_sendmsg (net/appletalk/ddp.c:1715) __sys_sendto (net/socket.c:2265 (discriminator 1)) __x64_sys_sendto (net/socket.c:2272) do_syscall_64 (arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c:94) entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe (arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:121) Add a NULL check consistent with the other callers of atalk_find_dev_addr().
