CVE-2017-13686 (C, published 2017-08-24T22:29Z)
Description: value: net/ipv4/route.c in the Linux kernel 4.13-rc1 through 4.13-rc6 is too late to check for a NULL fi field when RTM_F_FIB_MATCH is set, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted system calls. NOTE: this does not affect any stable release.
Severity: HIGH (CVSS v3 base score: 7.8)
Weakness: CWE-476 \u2014 NULL Pointer Dereference
The product dereferences a pointer that it expects to be valid but is NULL.
Repository: https://github.com/torvalds/linux

This patch adds a res->fi NULL check.

example run:
$ip route get 0.0.0.0 iif virt1-0
broadcast 0.0.0.0 dev lo
    cache <local,brd> iif virt1-0

$ip route get 0.0.0.0 iif virt1-0 fibmatch

Fixed code:

			err = fib_props[res.type].error;
			if (!err)
				err = -EHOSTUNREACH;
