In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ovl: fix null pointer dereference in ovl_permission()
Following process:
P1 P2
path_lookupat
link_path_walk
inode_permission
ovl_permission
ovl_i_path_real(inode, &realpath)
path->dentry = ovl_i_dentry_upper(inode)
drop_cache
__dentry_kill(ovl_dentry)
iput(ovl_inode)
ovl_destroy_inode(ovl_inode)
dput(oi->__upperdentry)
dentry_kill(upperdentry)
dentry_unlink_inode
upperdentry->d_inode = NULL
realinode = d_inode(realpath.dentry) // return NULL
inode_permission(realinode)
inode->i_sb // NULL pointer dereference
, will trigger an null pointer dereference at realinode:

Fetch a reproducer in [Link].
Use the helper ovl_i_path_realinode() to get realinode and then do
non-nullptr checking.Verknüpft mit AI von unstrukturierten Daten zu bestehenden CPE der NVD
