In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md/raid10: fix writes_pending and barrier reference leaks on discard failures
raid10_make_request() acquires a writes_pending reference with
md_write_start() before calling raid10_handle_discard(). Several failure
paths in raid10_handle_discard() complete the bio and return without
releasing the corresponding reference, causing md_write_end() to be
skipped.
Call md_write_end() before returning from these failure paths to keep
writes_pending accounting balanced.
Additionally, discard split allocation failures can occur after
wait_barrier() succeeds. Those paths return without calling
allow_barrier(), leaking the associated barrier reference.
Release the barrier before returning from those paths.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's multiple device (MD) driver, specifically in the RAID10 implementation. This vulnerability occurs due to reference leaks in the writes_pending and barrier mechanisms during discard failures. An attacker could potentially exploit this by triggering discard failures, leading to resource exhaustion and a Denial of Service (DoS) on the affected system.
