netfilter: x_tables: fix possible ZERO_SIZE_PTR pointer dereferencing error. Since we cannot make sure that the 'hook_mask' will always be none zero here. If it equals to zero, the num_hooks will be zero too, and then kmalloc() will return ZERO_SIZE_PTR, which is (void *)16. Then the following error check will fails: ops = kmalloc(sizeof(*ops) * num_hooks, GFP_KERNEL); if (ops == NULL) return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM); So this patch will fix this with just doing the zero check before kmalloc() is called. Maybe the case above will never happen here, but in theory. Signed-off-by: Xiubo Li <lixiubo@cmss.chinamobile.com> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
