| Vector | AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
The issue arises from the direct call to
md reap sync thread() from raid message() without holding the reconfig mutex. This is unsafe because md reap sync thread() can change fields protected by reconfig mutex. Holding reconfig mutex in this context is problematic due to the potential for deadlock, as seen in commit 130443d60b1b. The problem is resolved by using stop sync thread() to unregister the sync thread, similar to how it is done in md/raid.Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
