About this tag
CVE-2024-35808 is a high-risk vulnerability in the Linux kernel's software RAID code, specifically in the md/dm-raid driver. The flaw allows a local attacker to cause a denial-of-service condition against RAID-managed storage by exploiting unsafe synchronization in the md_reap_sync_thread function. Patches replace the unsafe call with the safer stop_sync_thread helper, and vendor updates are available. On WindowsForum.com, discussions cover the vulnerability details, patch deployment, and mitigation strategies for Linux systems using software RAID.
