Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
md/md-llbitmap: skip reading rdevs that are not in_sync<br />
<br />
When reading bitmap pages from member disks, the code iterates through<br />
all rdevs and attempts to read from the first available one. However,<br />
it only checks for raid_disk assignment and Faulty flag, missing the<br />
In_sync flag check.<br />
<br />
This can cause bitmap data to be read from spare disks that are still<br />
being rebuilt and don&#39;t have valid bitmap information yet. Reading<br />
stale or uninitialized bitmap data from such disks can lead to<br />
incorrect dirty bit tracking, potentially causing data corruption<br />
during recovery or normal operation.<br />
<br />
Add the In_sync flag check to ensure bitmap pages are only read from<br />
fully synchronized member disks that have valid bitmap data.
