Linux · Linux Kernel · CVE-2024-43855
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
**Description**
A deadlock vulnerability has been resolved in the Linux kernel. The issue occurs when the kernel is being suspended while a flush bio is in progress, causing a complex deadlock scenario. The root cause is the non-atomic increment and decrement of `active io` during the flush process. To fix the issue, the kernel now ensures that `active io` is only incremented and decremented once during the entire flush process. Additionally, a WARN ON has been added to prevent future modifications from introducing issues.
**Recommendations**
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
