High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel has been fixed that caused all remaining subrequests from a read request to be abandoned during retry under certain circumstances. The abandonment process did not always have a valid value for the 'subreq' variable, which could lead to errors.

Risk Assessment

Organizations may encounter data integrity issues during read operations, potentially leading to data loss or incorrect results.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update the Linux kernel to the latest version to eliminate this vulnerability and ensure the stability of read operations.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfs: Fix read abandonment during retry Under certain circumstances, all the remaining subrequests from a read request will get abandoned during retry. The abandonment process expects the 'subreq' variable to be set to the place to start abandonment from, but it doesn't always have a useful value (it will be uninitialised on the first pass through the loop and it may point to a deleted subrequest on later passes). Fix the first jump to "abandon:" to set subreq to the start of the first subrequest expected to need retry (which, in this abandonment case, turned out unexpectedly to no longer have NEED_RETRY set). Also clear the subreq pointer after discarding superfluous retryable subrequests to cause an oops if we do try to access it.
