Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: virtio-blk: Avoid use-after-free on suspend/resume hctx->user_data is set to vq in virtblk_init_hctx(). However, vq is
freed on suspend and reallocated on resume. So, hctx->user_data is
invalid after resume, and it will cause use-after-free accessing which
will result in the kernel crash something like below: [ 22.428391] Call Trace:
