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

afs: fix NULL pointer dereference in afs_get_tree()

afs_alloc_sbi() uses kzalloc for memory allocation. And, if
ctx->dyn_root is not null, as->cell and as->volume are null.
In trace_afs_get_tree() they are dereferenced.

KASAN error message:
