CVE-2026-90390

Unknown
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In the Linux kernel, md/bitmap's backlog_store() suspends the array before checking whether a write-mostly device exists. If no such device exists, the error path only unlocks reconfig_mutex and leaves the array suspended, blocking subsequent I/O. The fix uses mddev_unlock_and_resume().

Risk Assessment

A RAID array may remain suspended, blocking all I/O operations and causing data unavailability. Systems with md arrays using bitmaps are affected.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version with the fix that uses mddev_unlock_and_resume() on the error path. Monitor md array state after failed reconfiguration operations.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: md/bitmap: resume array on backlog_store() error path backlog_store() suspends the array before checking whether a write-mostly device exists. If no such device exists, the error path only unlocks reconfig_mutex and leaves the array suspended, blocking subsequent I/O. Use mddev_unlock_and_resume() to release both states.
