Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> udf: Fix NULL pointer dereference in udf_symlink function<br /> <br /> In function udf_symlink, epos.bh is assigned with the value returned<br /> by udf_tgetblk. The function udf_tgetblk is defined in udf/misc.c<br /> and returns the value of sb_getblk function that could be NULL.<br /> Then, epos.bh is used without any check, causing a possible<br /> NULL pointer dereference when sb_getblk fails.<br /> <br /> This fix adds a check to validate the value of epos.bh.
