From: Davide Caratti dcaratti@redhat.com
commit a5dcb73b96a9d21431048bdaac02d9e96f386da3 upstream.
when sock_create_kern(..., a) returns an error, 'a' might not be a valid pointer, so it shouldn't be dereferenced to read a->sk->sk_sndbuf and and a->sk->sk_rcvbuf; not doing that caused the following crash:
