Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's RAID5 storage driver. A sequence number comparison issue in stripe batch processing fails to account for 32-bit integer wrapping. During extensive storage write operations, the sequence counter may overflow, causing the system to misidentify newer stripe batches as older. This flaw may allow a local user to cause data inconsistencies or a denial of service (DoS) through improper stripe batch handling.
