Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/sysv: Null check to prevent null-ptr-deref bug
sb_getblk(inode->i_sb, parent) return a null ptr and taking lock on
that leads to the null-ptr-deref bug.
A NULL pointer dereference vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's System V filesystem (sysv). The code fails to check if sb_getblk() returns NULL before attempting to take a lock on the returned buffer head. When sb_getblk() fails and returns NULL, the subsequent lock operation dereferences the NULL pointer, causing a kernel crash.
Отчет
This flaw affects systems mounting System V (sysv) filesystems. The NULL pointer dereference occurs when the kernel fails to allocate a buffer block during filesystem operations. While sysv is a legacy filesystem format rarely used in modern systems, mounting a crafted or corrupted sysv filesystem image could trigger this crash.
Меры по смягчению последствий
To mitigate this issue, prevent the sysv module from being loaded. See https://access.redhat.com/solutions/41278 for instructions.
