Subject: [PATCH] Fix possible NULL dereference in get_btrfs_fs_root()
Date: Wed, 30 Mar 2016 22:49:43 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <56FC3BE7.7040001@suse.cz> (raw)
Be on safe side and always initialize mountinfo in set_fs_root().
I got a crash report in get_btrfs_fs_root() caused by tb being zero while
referring tb->cache in
target = mnt_resolve_target(mnt_fs_get_target(fs), tb->cache);
Triggered by command:
mount -t btrfs -o user /dev/sdh1 /media/sdh1
However I was not able to reproduce the crash, the reason was apparent.
NULL tb was passed to mnt_table_get_fs_root() from set_fs_root().
set_fs_root() got it as upd->mountinfo being NULL from utab_new_entry(). That
got it from mnt_update_set_fs(), that from mnt_context_prepare_update() (where
it is cxt->update->mountinfo).
At least the constructor mnt_new_update() can create context with cxt->update
being not NULL and cxt->update->mountinfo being NULL.
It is also possible to pass to mnt_context_prepare_update() with cxt->update not
being NULL but cxt->update->mountinfo being NULL created by mnt_new_context(),
e. g. from mnt_context_mount().
