smack: do not dereference NULL ipc object
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
In the SYSV ipc msgctl(),semctl(),shmctl() family, if the user passed *_INFO
as the desired operation, no specific object is meant to be controlled and
only system-wide information is returned.  This leads to a NULL IPC object in
the LSM hooks if the _INFO flag is given.

Avoid dereferencing this NULL pointer in Smack ipc *ctl() methods.
