NULL Pointer Dereference

Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
can: af_can: fix NULL pointer dereference in can_rx_register()<br />
<br />
It causes NULL pointer dereference when testing as following:<br />
(a) use syscall(__NR_socket, 0x10ul, 3ul, 0) to create netlink socket.<br />
(b) use syscall(__NR_sendmsg, ...) to create bond link device and vxcan<br />
link device, and bind vxcan device to bond device (can also use<br />
ifenslave command to bind vxcan device to bond device).<br />
(c) use syscall(__NR_socket, 0x1dul, 3ul, 1) to create CAN socket.<br />
(d) use syscall(__NR_bind, ...) to bind the bond device to CAN socket.<br />
<br />
The bond device invokes the can-raw protocol registration interface to<br />
receive CAN packets. However, ml_priv is not allocated to the dev,<br />
dev_rcv_lists is assigned to NULL in can_rx_register(). In this case,<br />
it will occur the NULL pointer dereference issue.<br />
<br />
The following is the stack information:<br />
