What it is

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ata: libata-transport: fix double ata_host_put() in ata_tport_add()

In the error path in ata_tport_add(), when calling put_device(),

ata_tport_release() is called, it will put the refcount of 'ap->host'.

And then ata_host_put() is called again, the refcount is decreased

to 0, ata_host_release() is called, all ports are freed and set to

null.

When unbinding the device after failure, ata_host_stop() is called

to release the resources, it leads a null-ptr-deref(), because all

the ports all freed and null.

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000008
