In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix NULL pointer dereference in do_abort_log_replay()
Coverity reported a NULL pointer dereference issue (CID 1666756) in
do_abort_log_replay(). When btrfs_alloc_path() fails in
replay_one_buffer(), wc->subvol_path is NULL, but btrfs_abort_log_replay()
calls do_abort_log_replay() which unconditionally dereferences
wc->subvol_path when attempting to print debug information. Fix this by
adding a NULL check before dereferencing wc->subvol_path in
do_abort_log_replay().
A NULL pointer dereference vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's Btrfs filesystem log replay code. When btrfs_alloc_path() fails in replay_one_buffer() due to memory allocation failure, wc->subvol_path is left NULL. Subsequently, btrfs_abort_log_replay() calls do_abort_log_replay() which unconditionally dereferences wc->subvol_path to print debug information, causing a kernel crash.
Отчет
This vulnerability was identified by Coverity static analysis and occurs during Btrfs log replay when the system is under memory pressure. The crash happens in the error handling path when a path allocation fails during recovery operations. The impact is limited to denial of service during filesystem mount after an unclean shutdown.
