In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
jffs2: check jffs2_prealloc_raw_node_refs() result in few other places
Fuzzing hit another invalid pointer dereference due to the lack of
checking whether jffs2_prealloc_raw_node_refs() completed successfully.
Subsequent logic implies that the node refs have been allocated.
Handle that. The code is ready for propagating the error upwards.
