Subject: [PATCH 3/7] afs: fix NULL pointer dereference in afs_get_tree()
Date: Tue, 9 Jun 2026 09:17:33 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260609081738.770127-4-dhowells@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260609081738.770127-1-dhowells@redhat.com>
From: Matvey Kovalev <matvey.kovalev@ispras.ru>
afs_alloc_sbi() uses kzalloc for memory allocation. And, if
ctx->dyn_root is not null, as->cell and as->volume are null.
In trace_afs_get_tree() they are dereferenced.
KASAN error message:
KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000000-0x0000000000000007]
