Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's block control group (blk-cgroup) subsystem. When associating block I/O requests with control groups, the kernel prematurely re-enables interrupts while internal locks are still held. A local user can trigger this flaw during storage operations, causing an interrupt handler to attempt to acquire the locked resource. This results in a system deadlock and a Denial of Service (DoS).
