[0]\n\nWhen IPv6 route is created with RTA_NH_ID, struct fib6_info\ndoes not have the trailing struct fib6_nh.\n\nThe cited commit started to check !iter->fib6_nh->fib_nh_gw_family\nto ensure that rt6_qualify_for_ecmp() will return false for iter.\n\nIf iter->nh is not NULL, rt6_qualify_for_ecmp() returns false anyway.\n\nLet's check iter->nh before reading iter->fib6_nh and avoid OOB read.\n\n[0]:\nBUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in fib6_add_rt2node+0x349c/0x3500 net/ipv6/ip6_fib.c:1142\nRead of size 1 at addr ffff8880384ba6de by task syz.0.18/5500\n\nCPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 5500 Comm:
