CVE-2023-53299
Status: ModifiedMedium (5.5)—
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md/raid10: fix leak of 'r10bio->remaining' for recovery
raid10_sync_request() will add 'r10bio->remaining' for both rdev and replacement rdev. However, if the read io fails, recovery_request_write() returns without issuing the write io, in this case, end_sync_request() is only called once and 'remaining' is leaked, cause an io hang.
Fix the problem by decreasing 'remaining' according to if 'bio' and 'repl_bio' is valid.
CVSS
- Version: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
- Base score: 5.5
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.15%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 3
- Score date: 10/5/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
