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.
