Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-12-16 15:30 – Updated: 2026-07-30 06:32In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvme: fix admin request_queue lifetime
The namespaces can access the controller's admin request_queue, and stale references on the namespaces may exist after tearing down the controller. Ensure the admin request_queue is active by moving the controller's 'put' to after all controller references have been released to ensure no one is can access the request_queue. This fixes a reported use-after-free bug:
