Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ocfs2: fix NULL pointer dereference in ocfs2_journal_dirty()

bdev->bd_super has been removed and commit 8887b94d9322 change the usage from bdev->bd_super to b_assoc_map->host->i_sb. This introduces the following NULL pointer dereference in ocfs2_journal_dirty() since b_assoc_map is still not initialized. This can be easily reproduced by running xfstests generic/186, which simulate no more credits.

Fix it by only aborting transaction and journal in ocfs2_journal_dirty() now, and leave ocfs2_abort() later when detecting an aborted handle, e.g. start next transaction. Also log the handle details in this case.
