From: Arturo Giusti <koredump@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit fa236c2b2d4436d9f19ee4e5d5924e90ffd7bb43 ] In function udf_symlink, epos.bh is assigned with the value returned by udf_tgetblk. The function udf_tgetblk is defined in udf/misc.c and returns the value of sb_getblk function that could be NULL. Then, epos.bh is used without any check, causing a possible NULL pointer dereference when sb_getblk fails. This fix adds a check to validate the value of epos.bh.
