4Subject: tipc: check nl sock before parsing nested attributes
5
6[ Upstream commit 45e093ae2830cd1264677d47ff9a95a71f5d9f9c ]
7
8Make sure the socket for which the user is listing publication exists
9before parsing the socket netlink attributes.
10
11Prior to this patch a call without any socket caused a NULL pointer
12dereference in tipc_nl_publ_dump().
