md subsystem

About this tag
The md subsystem tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about the Linux kernel's Multiple Devices (MD) subsystem, which manages software RAID arrays. Recent threads focus on security vulnerabilities and race conditions in this subsystem, including CVE-2025-22126, a use-after-free bug in the global list iteration of md devices, and CVE-2024-26758, a race condition that can cause the md daemon to hang during recovery thread unregistration. These topics are relevant to enterprise IT environments where Linux software RAID is deployed, and they highlight the importance of kernel updates for stability and security. The tag also touches on Microsoft's Azure Linux attestation regarding the affected code.

    CVE-2025-22126: Linux MD UAF Fix and Azure Attestation

    A critical race-condition bug in the Linux kernel’s MD (Multiple Devices) subsystem — tracked as CVE-2025-22126 — was fixed upstream after researchers identified a use‑after‑free (UAF) that can occur when the kernel iterates the global list of md devices. The fix addresses a subtle iterator /...

    Linux md Race Condition CVE-2024-26758: Fix for Suspended Array Hang

    A subtle race-condition fix in the Linux kernel’s md (multiple device/RAID) subsystem — tracked as CVE-2024-26758 — has been published to address a scenario where the md daemon can hang because the recovery thread unregistering logic incorrectly ignores suspended arrays, creating a reliable...
