NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nbdfuse package and not the nbdfuse package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

QEMU through 8.0.4 accesses a NULL pointer in nvme_directive_receive in hw/nvme/ctrl.c because there is no check for whether an endurance group is configured before checking whether Flexible Data Placement is enabled.
