Type:
CWE-476
NULL Pointer Dereference
Publication date:

Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
ocfs2: fix NULL pointer dereference in ocfs2_abort_trigger()<br />
<br />
bdev->bd_super has been removed and commit 8887b94d9322 change the usage<br />
from bdev->bd_super to b_assoc_map->host->i_sb. Since ocfs2 hasn&#39;t set<br />
bh->b_assoc_map, it will trigger NULL pointer dereference when calling<br />
into ocfs2_abort_trigger().<br />
<br />
Actually this was pointed out in history, see commit 74e364ad1b13. But<br />
I&#39;ve made a mistake when reviewing commit 8887b94d9322 and then<br />
re-introduce this regression.<br />
<br />
Since we cannot revive bdev in buffer head, so fix this issue by<br />
initializing all types of ocfs2 triggers when fill super, and then get the<br />
specific ocfs2 trigger from ocfs2_caching_info when access journal.<br />
