Subject[PATCH 1/1] openvswitch: check return value of nla_nest_start
Date
Function nla_nest_start() will return a NULL pointer on error, and its
return value should be validated before it is used. However, in function
queue_userspace_packet(), its return value is ignored. This may result
in NULL dereference when calling nla_nest_end(). This patch fixes the
bug.
