An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 4.17.10.
MEDIUM 5.5EPSS 2.54%
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.54%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
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.
