**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Linux kernel (affected versions not specified) **Description** A NULL pointer dereference issue has been identified in the Linux kernel, specifically in the nvme-pci module. The issue arises when the `nvme alloc admin tags` function fails to set up a queue due to an error, such as -ENOMEM, and returns an error message. However, the error handling mechanism does not properly check for a NULL pointer, leading to a bad pointer dereference when attempting to quiesce a non-existent queue. **Recommendations** At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
