Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
fs/ntfs3: Fix NULL deref in ntfs_update_mftmirr<br />
<br />
If ntfs_fill_super() wasn&#39;t called then sbi->sb will be equal to NULL.<br />
Code should check this ptr before dereferencing. Syzbot hit this issue<br />
via passing wrong mount param as can be seen from log below<br />
<br />
Fail log:<br />
ntfs3: Unknown parameter &#39;iochvrset&#39;<br />
