Doc Text:
A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's UDF file system driver, where the udf_symlink function can dereference a NULL pointer. This occurs because the function uses a value returned from udf_tgetblk without checking if it is NULL, potentially causing system crashes if sb_getblk fails.
