Linux block/genhd.c Kernel Block DoS

The vulnerability of the diskrelease function in the block/genhd.c module related to Linux’s kernel-level block support involves the failure to release resources after their useful lifespan has ended. Exploiting this vulnerability could allow an attacker to cause service failures...

CVE-2026-80589

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: block: stop the timeout timer when releasing a never added disk diskrelease undoes blkmqinitallocatedqueue for a disk whose probe failed before adddisk, but it only calls blkmqexitqueue. Nothing there stops q-timeout, and that...

CVE-2021-47552

CVE-2021-47552 affects the Linux kernel’s block multi-queue (blk-mq) I/O scheduling. The root issue was a race where scsi_device could be freed before blk_release_queue() ran, leading to a kernel oops. The fix cancels blk-mq dispatch work in both blk_cleanup_queue() and disk_release(), ensuring I...
