CVE-2025-38496
Estado: AnalizadaMedia (5.5)—
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm-bufio: fix sched in atomic context
If "try_verify_in_tasklet" is set for dm-verity, DM_BUFIO_CLIENT_NO_SLEEP is enabled for dm-bufio. However, when bufio tries to evict buffers, there is a chance to trigger scheduling in spin_lock_bh, the following warning is hit:
That can be reproduced by:
