Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-45934)
Summary
Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-45934). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix EEXIST abort due to non-consecutive gaps in chunk allocation
I have been observing a number of systems aborting at
insert_dev_extents() in btrfs_create_pending_block_groups(). The
following is a sample stack trace of such an abort coming from forced
chunk allocation (typically behind CONFIG_BTRFS_EXPERIMENTAL) but this
can theoretically happen to any DUP chunk allocation.
