{"apiVersion":"1.0","identifier":"CVE-2026-74372","description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: raid1: fix nr_pending leak in REQ_ATOMIC bad-block error path In raid1_write_request(), each per-mirror loop iteration begins by incrementing rdev->nr_pending. If a REQ_ATOMIC write encounters a badblock within the requested range, the code jumps to err_handle without dropping the reference taken for the current mirror. err_handle-s cleanup loop will only decrements for k < i and r1_bio->bios[k] is non-NULL. The current slot is therefore skipped, leaving its nr_pending reference leaked permanently. The reference prevents the rdev from ever being removed, since raid1_remove_conf() refuses to remove an rdev with nr_pending > 0. Fix this by calling rdev_dec_pending() before jumping to err_handle.","publishedAt":"2026-08-15T06:22:38","lastModifiedAt":"2026-08-17T06:19:32","sourceUrl":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-74372","cvssScore":null,"cvssVector":"Pending","epssProbability":0.00166,"riskScore":0,"affectedProduct":"Linux kernel","affectedVersions":"unknown","vulnerabilityType":"Kernel","operatingSystems":[],"links":{"self":"https://www.redsauce.net/api/cves/CVE-2026-74372","webPages":{"es":"https://www.redsauce.net/es/cves/CVE-2026-74372","en":"https://www.redsauce.net/en/cves/CVE-2026-74372","fr":"https://www.redsauce.net/fr/cves/CVE-2026-74372","pt":"https://www.redsauce.net/pt/cves/CVE-2026-74372","de":"https://www.redsauce.net/de/cves/CVE-2026-74372","sk":"https://www.redsauce.net/sk/cves/CVE-2026-74372","el":"https://www.redsauce.net/el/cves/CVE-2026-74372"},"source":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-74372"}}
