Revision 816cd5b83e4d8f3c8106966e64a025408caee3f6 authored by Pau Koning on 12 February 2013, 00:18:45 UTC, committed by David S. Miller on 13 February 2013, 18:35:24 UTC
An entry in DAT with the hashed position of 0 can cause a NULL pointer
dereference when the first entry is checked by batadv_choose_next_candidate.
This first candidate automatically has the max value of 0 and the max_orig_node
of NULL. Not checking max_orig_node for NULL in batadv_is_orig_node_eligible
will lead to a NULL pointer dereference when checking for the lowest address.

This problem was added in 785ea1144182c341b8b85b0f8180291839d176a8
("batman-adv: Distributed ARP Table - create DHT helper functions").
