CVE-2026-46051

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel versions prior to 7.0.11-1.1

Description A soft lockup occurs in the retry aligned read() function when an overlapped stripe is encountered. The function releases the stripe via raid5 release stripe(), placing it on the lockless released stripes list. During the subsequent raid5d loop iteration, release stripe list() moves the stripe to the handle list. However, retry aligned read() executes before handle active stripes() and removes the stripe from the handle list using find get stripe() and list del init(). This sequence prevents handle stripe() from processing the stripe to resolve the overlap, resulting in an infinite loop.

Recommendations Update to version 7.0.11-1.1.
