UBLK_S_DEV_QUIESCED plus\nUBLK_F_USER_RECOVERY dies one step earlier, in ublk_force_abort_dev().  A\npoisoned ->state also gets START_USER_RECOVERY and the char device\nread/write path onto a device that was never started, and wedges START_DEV\nat -EEXIST.  A poisoned ->ublksrv_pid just makes GET_DEV_INFO report an\nunrelated task as the ublk server.\n\nReset both after the memcpy(), as ublk_detach_disk() does.  Userspace only\never reads these back, so correcting them silently breaks nothing.\n\nADD_DEV has copied ->state in unsanitized since ublk was merged, but back\nthen it was harmless: the gendisk was allocated during ADD_DEV, and both\nteardown and the START_DEV -EEXIST check keyed off disk_live() rather than\n->state.  The oops became reachable once the disk allocation moved to\nSTART_DEV and those checks switched to ->state."}],"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":"6d9e6dfdf3b207701471f364121c67eefb000682","lessThan":"787c944502e7e63d20a9201bada77e0dd924f458","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"6d9e6dfdf3b207701471f364121c67eefb000682","lessThan":"ee41b00858ca65b4428e99efe39a4277c1f043d2","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"6d9e6dfdf3b207701471f364121c67eefb000682","lessThan":"b67ce16b26ad0f14cfd6071013840aa95f823bea","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"6d9e6dfdf3b207701471f364121c67eefb000682","lessThan":"205feb72e5beb3140e4e1403b6cff30cf739bab9","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"6d9e6dfdf3b207701471f364121c67eefb000682","lessThan":"127033b79383a3e78361d7e971588aa8849f5124","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"6d9e6dfdf3b207701471f364121c67eefb000682","lessThan":"e65848e4ce352bac9e3465099354c8b8f845391f","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":"6.0","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"6.0","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.1.183","lessThanOrEqual":"6.1.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.6.151","lessThanOrEqual":"6.6.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.12.103","lessThanOrEqual":"6.12.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.18.44","lessThanOrEqual":"6.18.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.1.8","lessThanOrEqual":"7.1.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.2","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":"6.0","versionEndExcluding":"6.1.183"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.0","versionEndExcluding":"6.6.151"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.0","versionEndExcluding":"6.12.103"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.0","versionEndExcluding":"6.18.44"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.0","versionEndExcluding":"7.1.8"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.0","versionEndExcluding":"7.2"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/787c944502e7e63d20a9201bada77e0dd924f458"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ee41b00858ca65b4428e99efe39a4277c1f043d2"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b67ce16b26ad0f14cfd6071013840aa95f823bea"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/205feb72e5beb3140e4e1403b6cff30cf739bab9"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/127033b79383a3e78361d7e971588aa8849f5124"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e65848e4ce352bac9e3465099354c8b8f845391f"}],"title":"ublk: reset kernel-owned dev_info fields in ublk_ctrl_add_dev()","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
