Vulnerability Details : CVE-2021-47353
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
udf: Fix NULL pointer dereference in udf_symlink function
In function udf_symlink, epos.bh is assigned with the value returned
by udf_tgetblk. The function udf_tgetblk is defined in udf/misc.c
and returns the value of sb_getblk function that could be NULL.
Then, epos.bh is used without any check, causing a possible
NULL pointer dereference when sb_getblk fails.
This fix adds a check to validate the value of epos.bh.
