Descriptions

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 4.17.10. There is a NULL pointer dereference and panic in hfsplus_lookup() in fs/hfsplus/dir.c when opening a file (that is purportedly a hard link) in an hfs+ filesystem that has malformed catalog data, and is mounted read-only without a metadata directory.

Se ha descubierto un problema en el kernel de Linux hasta la versión 4.17.10. Hay una desreferencia de puntero NULL y pánico en hfsplus_lookup() en fs/hfsplus/dir.c cuando se abre un archivo (que supuestamente es un enlace duro o hard link) en un sistema de archivos hfs+ que tiene datos de catálogo mal formados y se monta en modo de solo lectura sin un directorio de metadatos.
