Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/ntfs3: Add null pointer check for inode operations
This adds a sanity check for the i_op pointer of the inode which is
returned after reading Root directory MFT record. We should check the
i_op is valid before trying to create the root dentry, otherwise we may
encounter a NPD while mounting a image with a funny Root directory MFT
record.

| Description | In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fs/ntfs3: Add null pointer check for inode operations This adds a sanity check for the i_op pointer of the inode which is returned after reading Root directory MFT record. We should check the i_op is valid before trying to create the root dentry, otherwise we may encounter a NPD while mounting a image with a funny Root directory MFT record.
