CVE-2022-50752

CVE-2022-50752 affects the Linux kernel md/raid5 path. The vulnerability is due to an unnecessary bio_put() in raid5_read_one_chunk() on the badblocks error path, causing a double-free of bio structures when chunk-sized reads hit bad blocks. The error path was moved before bio_alloc_clone() in a ...

kernel: md/raid5: Remove unnecessary bio_put() in raid5_read_one_chunk()

A double-free vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's MD RAID5 driver. In raid5readonechunk, when encountering badblocks during chunk-sized reads, an unnecessary bioput is called. Since the bio is also freed by the common I/O completion path, this results in a double-free condition that can...
