CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:HIn the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: btrfs: fix NULL dereference on root when tracing inode eviction When evicting an inode the first thing we do is to setup tracing for it, which implies fetching the root's id. But in btrfs_evict_inode() the root might be NULL, as implied in the next check that we do in btrfs_evict_inode(). Hence, we either should set the ->root_objectid to 0 in case the root is NULL, or we move tracing setup after checking that the root is not NULL. Setting the rootid to 0 at least gives us the possibility to trace this call even in the case when the root is NULL, so that's the solution taken here. A NULL pointer dereference vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's Btrfs filesystem. When evicting an inode in btrfs_evict_inode(), the tracing setup code attempts to fetch the root's ID before checking if the root pointer is NULL. This can cause a kernel crash when the inode's root is NULL during eviction, which can occur in certain error recovery paths.
