Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-07-04 14:02:18 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

smb: client: add NULL check in automount_fullpath

page is checked for null in __build_path_from_dentry_optional_prefix
when tcon->origin_fullpath is not set. However, the check is missing when
it is set.
Add a check to prevent a potential NULL pointer dereference.
