Since the UBLK_CMD_UPDATE_SIZE\nhandler performs no state validation, a user can trigger a NULL pointer\ndereference by sending UPDATE_SIZE to a device that has been added but\nnot yet started, or one that has been stopped.\n\nFix this by checking ub->ub_disk under ub->mutex before dereferencing\nit, and returning -ENODEV if the disk is not available."}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/block/ublk_drv.c"],"versions":[{"version":"98b995660bff011d8e00af03abd74ac7d1ac1390","lessThan":"f13fe6794726755a43090cb680c4c58cea6aa5f1","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"98b995660bff011d8e00af03abd74ac7d1ac1390","lessThan":"c28d945bfa92e15147e93b73f95345b9bec979b0","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"98b995660bff011d8e00af03abd74ac7d1ac1390","lessThan":"25966fc097691e5c925ad080f64a2f19c5fd940a","status":"affected","versionType":"git"}]},{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"affected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/block/ublk_drv.c"],"versions":[{"version":"6.16","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"6.16","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.18.20","lessThanOrEqual":"6.18.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.19.9","lessThanOrEqual":"6.19.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.0","lessThanOrEqual":"*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"original_commit_for_fix"}]}],"cpeApplicability":[{"nodes":[{"operator":"OR","negate":false,"cpeMatch":[{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.16","versionEndExcluding":"6.18.20"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.16","versionEndExcluding":"6.19.9"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.16","versionEndExcluding":"7.0"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f13fe6794726755a43090cb680c4c58cea6aa5f1"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c28d945bfa92e15147e93b73f95345b9bec979b0"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/25966fc097691e5c925ad080f64a2f19c5fd940a"}],"title":"ublk: fix NULL pointer dereference in ublk_ctrl_set_size()","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
