Descripción
*** Pendiente de traducción *** In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
ublk: fix NULL pointer dereference in ublk_ctrl_set_size()<br />
<br />
ublk_ctrl_set_size() unconditionally dereferences ub->ub_disk via<br />
set_capacity_and_notify() without checking if it is NULL.<br />
<br />
ub->ub_disk is NULL before UBLK_CMD_START_DEV completes (it is only<br />
assigned in ublk_ctrl_start_dev()) and after UBLK_CMD_STOP_DEV runs<br />
(ublk_detach_disk() sets it to NULL). Since the UBLK_CMD_UPDATE_SIZE<br />
handler performs no state validation, a user can trigger a NULL pointer<br />
dereference by sending UPDATE_SIZE to a device that has been added but<br />
not yet started, or one that has been stopped.<br />
<br />
Fix this by checking ub->ub_disk under ub->mutex before dereferencing<br />
it, and returning -ENODEV if the disk is not available.
