[PATCH 2.6.32 06/42] ext4: Fix null dereference in ext4_fill_super()

From: Willy Tarreau
Date: Sat Jan 23 2016 - 09:48:07 EST


2.6.32-longterm review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ben Hutchings <ben@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Fix failure paths in ext4_fill_super() that can lead to a null
dereference. This was designated CVE-2015-8324.

Mostly extracted from commit 744692dc0598 ("ext4: use
ext4_get_block_write in buffer write").

However there's one more incorrect goto to fix, removed upstream in
commit cf40db137cc2 ("ext4: remove failed journal checksum check").
