Summary

In the Linux kernel, the hfsplus filesystem has a duplicate dirty marking of the attribute inode, leading to a null-ptr-deref during setxattr when the attributes file is not loaded during mount.

Risk Assessment

An attacker with local access could trigger a kernel panic by executing setxattr on an HFS+ filesystem, leading to denial of service.

Recommendation

Apply the kernel patch that removes the first dirty marking of the attribute inode in hfsplus.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: hfsplus: Remove the duplicate attr inode dirty marking action Syzbot reported a null-ptr-deref in [1].
