Subject: [PATCH v4 03/21] afs: fix NULL pointer dereference in afs_get_tree()
Date: Mon, 22 Jun 2026 10:08:37 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260622090856.2746629-4-dhowells@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260622090856.2746629-1-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:
