NULL Pointer Dereference

Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
net: fix NULL pointer in skb_segment_list<br />
<br />
Commit 3a1296a38d0c ("net: Support GRO/GSO fraglist chaining.")<br />
introduced UDP listifyed GRO. The segmentation relies on frag_list being<br />
untouched when passing through the network stack. This assumption can be<br />
broken sometimes, where frag_list itself gets pulled into linear area,<br />
leaving frag_list being NULL. When this happens it can trigger<br />
following NULL pointer dereference, and panic the kernel. Reverse the<br />
test condition should fix it.<br />
