This can happen if we have two\ntasks doing polled IO, and task B ends up completing IO from task A if\nthey are sharing a poll queue. If task B completes the IO and puts the\nbio into our cache, then it can allocate that bio again before task A\nis done polling for it. As that would necessitate a preempt between the\ntwo tasks, it's enough to just be a bit more careful in checking for\nwhether or not bio->bi_bdev is NULL." } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "block/blk-core.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "be4d234d7aebbfe0c233bc20b9cdef7ab3408ff4", "lessThan": "1af0bdca03f367874da45d6cbe05fa05b90b1439", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "be4d234d7aebbfe0c233bc20b9cdef7ab3408ff4", "lessThan": "0510d5e654d05053ed0e6309a9b42043ac9903ab", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "be4d234d7aebbfe0c233bc20b9cdef7ab3408ff4", "lessThan": "310726c33ad76cebdee312dbfafc12c1b44bf977", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" } ] }, { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "block/blk-core.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "5.15", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "5.15", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.1.16", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.2.3", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.2.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.3", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix" } ] } ], "cpeApplicability": [ { "nodes": [ { "operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [ { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.15", "versionEndExcluding": "6.1.16" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.15", "versionEndExcluding": "6.2.3" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.15", "versionEndExcluding": "6.3" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1af0bdca03f367874da45d6cbe05fa05b90b1439" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0510d5e654d05053ed0e6309a9b42043ac9903ab" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/310726c33ad76cebdee312dbfafc12c1b44bf977" } ], "title": "block: be a bit more careful in checking for NULL bdev while polling", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } }, "adp": [ { "metrics": [ { "cvssV3_1": { "scope": "UNCHANGED", "version": "3.1", "baseScore": 5.5, "attackVector": "LOCAL", "baseSeverity": "MEDIUM", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H", "integrityImpact": "NONE", "userInteraction": "NONE", "attackComplexity": "LOW", "availabilityImpact": "HIGH", "privilegesRequired": "LOW", "confidentialityImpact": "NONE" } }, { "other": { "type": "ssvc", "content": { "id": "CVE-2023-53366", "role": "CISA Coordinator", "options": [ { "Exploitation": "none" }, { "Automatable": "no" }, { "Technical Impact": "partial" } ], "version": "2.0.3", "timestamp": "2026-01-14T18:45:36.502954Z" } } } ], "problemTypes": [ { "descriptions": [ { "lang": "en", "type": "CWE", "cweId": "CWE-476", "description": "CWE-476 NULL Pointer Dereference" } ] } ], "title": "CISA ADP Vulnrichment", "providerMetadata": { "orgId": "134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0", "shortName": "CISA-ADP", "dateUpdated": "2026-01-14T18:53:02.318Z" } } ] } }
