Technical description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ublk: fix handling recovery & reissue in ublk_abort_queue()

Commit 8284066946e6 ("ublk: grab request reference when the request is handled

by userspace") doesn't grab request reference in case of recovery reissue.

uring command.

If it is one zc request, the request can be freed before io_uring

returns the zc buffer back, then cause kernel panic:
