Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Integer underflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-46050)

CWE-ID: CWE-191 - Integer underflow

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to an integer underflow in the md/raid10 request handling logic when processing nowait I/O requests during an array check operation. A local user can issue nowait I/O on the same array while a check operation is running to cause a denial of service.

The issue can cause the md resync thread and other requests to become stuck waiting on the barrier state.
