Improper Check or Handling of Exceptional Conditions in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-74374

Vulnerability identifier: #VU142766

CSH Severity: Low

CVSS v4: 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]

CVE-ID: CVE-2026-74374

CWE-ID: CWE-703

Exploitation vector: Local access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper state handling in the md/raid1 and md/raid10 read request paths when processing split and resubmitted failed bios in the error path. A local user can trigger I/O that causes failed bios to be split and resubmitted to cause a denial of service.

The issue can lead to incorrect memory allocation flags being used under memory pressure, which may result in a deadlock.
