Subject: [PATCH] Fix null pointer dereference in vector_user_bpf
Date:   Sat, 13 Jun 2020 21:19:40 -0400
Message-Id: <20200614012001.18468-1-gaurav1086@gmail.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

The bpf_prog is being checked for !NULL after uml_kmalloc
but later its used directly for example: 
bpf_prog->filter = bpf and is also later returned upon
success. Fix this, do a NULL check and return right away.
