Contribution description

According to the documentation of gnrc_ipv6_nib_get_next_hop_l2addr() pkt may be NULL. However, whenever that function sends an error message (the methods for that require orig_pkt not to be NULL) pkt is not checked, which may lead to failed assertions.

Testing procedure

Issues/PRs references

Compile and flash tests/gnrc_ipv6_nib with USEMODULE=gnrc_icmpv6_error

USEMODULE=gnrc_icmpv6_error make flash

and run the test

make test

Without this fix the test will fail on an assertion at

RIOT/sys/net/gnrc/network_layer/icmpv6/error/gnrc_icmpv6_error.c

Line 244 in 94a10e9

assert(ipv6 != NULL);

With this fix the tests will pass.

Issues/PRs references

Discovered while debugging #11068 where I use gnrc_ipv6_nib_get_next_hop_l2addr() with pkt == NULL

RIOT/sys/net/gnrc/network_layer/sixlowpan/frag/minfwd/gnrc_sixlowpan_frag_minfwd.c

Lines 51 to 54 in a235f61

if (!ipv6_addr_is_link_local(addr) &&
(gnrc_netif_get_by_ipv6_addr(addr) == NULL) &&
(gnrc_ipv6_nib_get_next_hop_l2addr(addr, netif, NULL,
&nce) == 0)) {

gnrc_ipv6_nib: check if pkt is NULL on error

According to the documentation of `gnrc_ipv6_nib_get_next_hop_l2addr()`
`pkt` may be `NULL`. However, whenever that function sends an error
message (the methods for that require `orig_pkt` not to be NULL) `pkt`
is not checked, which may lead to failed assertions.

Code looks sensible. Fixes the failed assertion in the test application. ACK
