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.

Weakness

A NULL pointer dereference occurs when the application dereferences a pointer that it expects to be valid, but is NULL, typically causing a crash or exit.
