Subject: [PATCH] bcachefs: Fix NULL pointer dereference in bch2_opt_to_text
Date: Mon, 16 Sep 2024 21:03:10 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240916210310.14014-1-pvmohammedanees2003@gmail.com> (raw)

syzbot has found an general protection fault in prt_str [1].

In the prt_str function, a NULL pointer dereference occurs when the
parameter str is NULL, which is called in bch2_opt_to_text when
opt->type is BCH_OPT_STR. If an invalid index v or incorrect
flag is passed to ptr_str, then this could lead to this issue.

Reported-and-tested-by: syzbot+37186860aa7812b331d5@syzkaller.appspotmail.com
Closes: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=37186860aa7812b331d5
