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.
Products | Ubuntu_linux, Debian_linux, Linux_kernel |
Type | NULL Pointer Dereference (CWE-476) |
First patch | - None (likely due to unavailable code) |
