Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's blk-mq component. This use-after-free vulnerability occurs when a task attempts to submit a bio (a data structure for I/O operations) to blk-mq. If the task is interrupted and sleeps after checking for a cached request but before using it, the cached request can be prematurely freed. This can lead to system instability or crashes.
