Hi,

In sddr55_transport(), there is an if statement on line 836 to check
whether info->lba_to_pba is NULL:
     if (info->lba_to_pba == NULL || ...)

When info->lba_to_pba is NULL, it is used on line 948:
     pba = info->lba_to_pba[lba];

Thus, a possible null-pointer dereference may occur.
Yes, in practice READ_CAPACITY will always be called and set
up the correct translation table, but you can probably exploit
this.

To fix this bug, info->lba_to_pba is checked before being used.

This bug is found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by us.

If you use that fix, pba will be uninitialized when used. It should be
something like:

pba = info->lba_to_pba ? info->lba_to_pba[lba] : 0;

Thanks for the advice.
I will send a v2 patch.


Best wishes,
Jia-Ju Bai
