Subject: [PATCH v2 03/17] afs: fix NULL pointer dereference in afs_get_tree()
Date: Thu, 18 Jun 2026 08:48:46 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260618074903.2374756-4-dhowells@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260618074903.2374756-1-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:
