Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel versions prior to 6.13.2-ga1582f1a031e
Description
The Linux kernel had a flaw related to the admin request queue lifetime in the NVMe subsystem. Namespaces could access the controller's admin request queue, and stale references could persist after the controller was torn down. This created a use-after-free condition, potentially leading to system instability. The issue stemmed from incorrect handling of the admin request queue's lifetime, specifically the timing of releasing controller references.
Recommendations
Update to version 6.13.2-ga1582f1a031e or a later version to address this issue.
