      <title>CVE-2024-44939 — jfs: fix null ptr deref in dtInsertEntry</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2024-44939</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;jfs: fix null ptr deref in dtInsertEntry&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;[syzbot reported]
general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdffffc0000000001: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN PTI
KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000008-0x000000000000000f]
CPU: 0 PID: 5061 Comm: syz-executor404 Not tainted 6.8.0-syzkaller-08951-gfe46a7dd189e #0
Hardware name: Google Google Compute Engine/Google Compute Engine, BIOS Google 03/27/2024
RIP: 0010:dtInsertEntry+0xd0c/0x1780 fs/jfs/jfs_dtree.c:3713
...
[Analyze]
In dtInsertEntry(), when the pointer h has the same value as p, after writing
name in UniStrncpy_to_le(), p-&amp;gt;header.flag will be cleared. This will cause the
previously true judgment &amp;#34;p-&amp;gt;header.flag &amp;amp; BT-LEAF&amp;#34; to change to no after writing
the name operation, this leads to entering an incorrect branch and accessing the
uninitialized object ih when judging this condition for the second time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;[Fix]
After got the page, check freelist first, if freelist == 0 then exit dtInsert()
and return -EINVAL.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
