Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Improper resource shutdown or release (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-74376)

CWE-ID: CWE-404 - Improper Resource Shutdown or Release

CVSSv4: 6.8 [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]


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

The vulnerability exists due to improper resource shutdown or release in the md/raid10 discard handling logic when reusing an r10bio for discard operations. A local user can trigger discard operations on a reused r10bio to cause a denial of service.

The issue occurs when a discard reuses an r10bio that was previously used for a read, leaving read_slot non-negative and causing cleanup to skip releasing the replacement bio.
