Subject: ofproto-dpif: Avoid dereferencing possibly null or wild pointer.
X-Git-Url: https://pintos-os.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=dd30ff28ca73dfe20e0b0c0e7c58dba485ca0098;p=openvswitch

ofproto-dpif: Avoid dereferencing possibly null or wild pointer.

If ofpacts_len is 0 then ofpacts->type is a bad reference.

(An early draft of ofpacts used an OFPACT_END sentinel so that there was
always data there in this function, but in review the sentinel got deleted
and I did not notice that this function needed an update.)

Found by valgrind.

Bug #12847.
