Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ublk_drv: fix NULL pointer dereference in ublk_ctrl_start_recovery() When two UBLK_CMD_START_USER_RECOVERY commands are submitted, the first one sets 'ubq->ubq_daemon' to NULL, and the second one triggers WARN in ublk_queue_reinit() and subsequently a NULL pointer dereference issue. Fix it by adding the check in ublk_ctrl_start_recovery() and return immediately in case of zero 'ub->nr_queues_ready'. BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000028 RIP: 0010:ublk_ctrl_start_recovery.constprop.0+0x82/0x180 Call Trace: <TASK> ? __die+0x20/0x70 ? page_fault_oops+0x75/0x170 ? exc_page_fault+0x64/0x140 ? asm_exc_page_fault+0x22/0x30 ? ublk_ctrl_start_recovery.constprop.0+0x82/0x180 ublk_ctrl_uring_cmd+0x4f7/0x6c0 ? pick_next_task_idle+0x26/0x40 io_uring_cmd+0x9a/0x1b0 io_issue_sqe+0x193/0x3f0 io_wq_submit_work+0x9b/0x390 io_worker_handle_work+0x165/0x360 io_wq_worker+0xcb/0x2f0 ? finish_task_switch.isra.0+0x203/0x290 ? finish_task_switch.isra.0+0x203/0x290 ? __pfx_io_wq_worker+0x10/0x10 ret_from_fork+0x2d/0x50 ? __pfx_io_wq_worker+0x10/0x10 ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30 </TASK>
