4.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Mateusz Jurczyk <mjurc...@google.com>
commit a0323b979f81ad2deb2c8836eab506534891876a upstream.
Check that the NFC_ATTR_TARGET_INDEX and NFC_ATTR_PROTOCOLS attributes (in
addition to NFC_ATTR_DEVICE_INDEX) are provided by the netlink client
prior to accessing them. This prevents potential unhandled NULL pointer
dereference exceptions which can be triggered by malicious user-mode
programs, if they omit one or both of these attributes.
