Re: [libvirt] [PATCH 3/7] nwfilter_ebiptables_driver.c: avoid NULL dereference

From: Jim Meyering <meyering(a)redhat.com&gt; * src/nwfilter/nwfilter_ebiptables_driver.c (ebiptablesApplyNewRules): Don't dereference a NULL or uninitialized pointer when given an empty list of rules. Add an sa_assert(inst) in each loop to tell clang that the uses of "inst[i]" are valid. --- src/nwfilter/nwfilter_ebiptables_driver.c | 8 +++++--- 1 files changed, 5 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/nwfilter/nwfilter_ebiptables_driver.c b/src/nwfilter/nwfilter_ebiptables_driver.c index b481b4c..f54099f 100644 --- a/src/nwfilter/nwfilter_ebiptables_driver.c +++ b/src/nwfilter/nwfilter_ebiptables_driver.c @@ -2834,11 +2834,11 @@ ebiptablesApplyNewRules(virConnectPtr conn ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED, bool haveIptables = false; bool haveIp6tables = false; - if (inst) - qsort(inst, nruleInstances, sizeof(inst[0]), - ebiptablesRuleOrderSort); + if (nruleInstances > 1 && inst) + qsort(inst, nruleInstances, sizeof(inst[0]), ebiptablesRuleOrderSort); for (i = 0; i < nruleInstances; i++) { + sa_assert (inst);
