  "description": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  loop: Fix use-after-free issues  do_req_filebacked() calls blk_mq_complete_request() synchronously or asynchronously when using asynchronous I/O unless memory allocation fails. Hence, modify loop_handle_cmd() such that it does not dereference \u0027cmd\u0027 nor \u0027rq\u0027 after do_req_filebacked() finished unless we are sure that the request has not yet been completed. This patch fixes the following kernel crash:  Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000054 Call trace:  css_put.42938\u002B0x1c/0x1ac  loop_process_work\u002B0xc8c/0xfd4  loop_rootcg_workfn\u002B0x24/0x34  process_one_work\u002B0x244/0x558  worker_thread\u002B0x400/0x8fc  kthread\u002B0x16c/0x1e0  ret_from_fork\u002B0x10/0x20",
