## Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  ublk: reset kernel-owned dev_info fields in ublk_ctrl_add_dev()  ublk_ctrl_add_dev() memcpy()s the userspace ublksrv_ctrl_dev_info into ub->dev_info and then fixes up the fields the driver owns, but misses ->state and ->ublksrv_pid.  A device added with ->state = UBLK_S_DEV_LIVE passes the "->state != UBLK_S_DEV_DEAD" test that ublk_stop_dev_unlocked() uses as its proxy for "a disk is attached", while ->ub_disk is still NULL, so DEL_DEV right after ADD_DEV oopses in del_gendisk().  UBLK_S_DEV_QUIESCED plus UBLK_F_USER_RECOVERY dies one step earlier, in ublk_force_abort_dev().  A poisoned ->state also gets START_USER_RECOVERY and the char device read/write path onto a device that was never started, and wedges START_DEV at -EEXIST.  A poisoned ->ublksrv_pid just makes GET_DEV_INFO report an unrelated task as the ublk server.  Reset both after the memcpy(), as ublk_detach_disk() does.  Userspace only ever reads these back, so correcting them silently breaks nothing.  ADD_DEV has copied ->state in unsanitized since ublk was merged, but back then it was harmless: the gendisk was allocated during ADD_DEV, and both teardown and the START_DEV -EEXIST check keyed off disk_live() rather than ->state.  The oops became reachable once the disk allocation moved to START_DEV and those checks switched to ->state.
