Subject: [PATCH] netlink: Avoid potential NULL-pointer deref in
 netlink_gen_payload_stmt()

Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1793030
Upstream Status: nftables commit c9ddf0bff363f

    netlink: Avoid potential NULL-pointer deref in netlink_gen_payload_stmt()

    With payload_needs_l4csum_update_pseudohdr() unconditionally
    dereferencing passed 'desc' parameter and a previous check for it to be
    non-NULL, make sure to call the function only if input is sane.
