Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> fs/ntfs3: handle hdr_first_de() return value<br /> <br /> The hdr_first_de() function returns a pointer to a struct NTFS_DE. This<br /> pointer may be NULL. To handle the NULL error effectively, it is important<br /> to implement an error handler.
