CVE-2026-43364

EUVD-2026-28670
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ublk: fix NULL pointer dereference in ublk_ctrl_set_size()

ublk_ctrl_set_size() unconditionally dereferences ub->ub_disk via
set_capacity_and_notify() without checking if it is NULL.

ub->ub_disk is NULL before UBLK_CMD_START_DEV completes (it is only
assigned in ublk_ctrl_start_dev()) and after UBLK_CMD_STOP_DEV runs
(ublk_detach_disk() sets it to NULL). Since the UBLK_CMD_UPDATE_SIZE
handler performs no state validation, a user can trigger a NULL pointer
dereference by sending UPDATE_SIZE to a device that has been added but
not yet started, or one that has been stopped.

Fix this by checking ub->ub_disk under ub->mutex before dereferencing
it, and returning -ENODEV if the disk is not available.
