NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-livepatch-5_3_18-150300_59_164-default package and not the kernel-livepatch-5_3_18-150300_59_164-default package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.3 relevant fixed versions and status.

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.
