In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vdpa_sim_blk: set number of address spaces and virtqueue groups
Commit bda324fd037a ("vdpasim: control virtqueue support") added two
new fields (nas, ngroups) to vdpasim_dev_attr, but we forgot to
initialize them for vdpa_sim_blk.
When creating a new vdpa_sim_blk device this causes the kernel
to panic in this way:
$ vdpa dev add mgmtdev vdpasim_blk name blk0
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000030
