CVE-2026-74372 in Linux
요약
\~에 의해 MITRE • 2026. 08. 15.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
raid1: fix nr_pending leak in REQ_ATOMIC bad-block error path
In raid1_write_request(), each per-mirror loop iteration begins by incrementing rdev->nr_pending. If a REQ_ATOMIC write encounters a badblock within the requested range, the code jumps to err_handle without dropping the reference taken for the current mirror.
err_handle's cleanup loop will only decrements for k < i and r1_bio->bios[k] is non-NULL. The current slot is therefore skipped,
leaving its nr_pending reference leaked permanently. The reference prevents the rdev from ever being removed, since raid1_remove_conf() refuses to remove an rdev with nr_pending > 0.
Fix this by calling rdev_dec_pending() before jumping to err_handle.
