fanotify: Validate the return value of mnt_ns_from_dentry() before dereferencing
The function do_fanotify_mark() does not validate if
mnt_ns_from_dentry() returns NULL before dereferencing mntns->user_ns.
This causes a NULL pointer dereference in do_fanotify_mark() if the
path is not a mount namespace object.
Fix this by checking mnt_ns_from_dentry()'s return value before
dereferencing it.
Before the patch
$ gcc fanotify_nullptr.c -o fanotify_nullptr
$ mkdir A
$ ./fanotify_nullptr
Fanotify fd: 3
fanotify_mark: Operation not permitted
$ unshare -Urm
Fanotify fd: 3
Killed
int main(void){
    int ffd;
    ffd = fanotify_init(FAN_CLASS_NOTIF | FAN_REPORT_MNT, 0);
    if(ffd < 0){
        perror("fanotify_init");
        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
    }
    printf("Fanotify fd: %d\n",ffd);
    if(fanotify_mark(ffd, FAN_MARK_ADD | FAN_MARK_MNTNS,
FAN_MNT_ATTACH, AT_FDCWD, "A") < 0){
        perror("fanotify_mark");
        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
    }
return 0;
}
After the patch
$ gcc fanotify_nullptr.c -o fanotify_nullptr
$ mkdir A
$ ./fanotify_nullptr
Fanotify fd: 3
fanotify_mark: Operation not permitted
$ unshare -Urm
Fanotify fd: 3
fanotify_mark: Invalid argument
