Subject: [PATCH] ext4: xattr: fix null pointer deref in ext4_raw_inode()
Date: Wed, 22 Oct 2025 12:32:53 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251022093253.3546296-1-k.yankevich@omp.ru> (raw)

If ext4_get_inode_loc() fails (e.g. if it returns -EFSCORRUPTED),
iloc.bh will remain set to NULL. Since ext4_xattr_inode_dec_ref_all()
lacks error checking, this will lead to a null pointer dereference
in ext4_raw_inode(), called right after ext4_get_inode_loc().

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

Fixes: c8e008b60492 ("ext4: ignore xattrs past end")
