CVE-2026-90400

Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-90400)

Summary

Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-90400). 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:

md: recheck spare changes before starting sync

remove_spares() and remove_and_add_spares() modify the array's rdev
configuration. These operations are only safe after the array has been
suspended.

md_start_sync() checks whether spare configuration changes are needed
before taking reconfig_mutex. However, the rdev state can change before
the mutex is acquired, so the initial check can become stale. In that
case, md_choose_sync_action() may remove or replace rdevs while normal
I/O is still accessing them.

The race can occur as follows:

raid10d Worker Normal IO

                                         raid10_write_request()
                                         wait_blocked_dev()
