Date: Fri, 8 May 2026 16:21:27 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2026050825-CVE-2026-43358-4b09@gregkh> (raw)
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@kernel.org>
Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: add missing RCU unlock in error path in try_release_subpage_extent_buffer()
Call rcu_read_lock() before exiting the loop in
try_release_subpage_extent_buffer() because there is a rcu_read_unlock()
call past the loop.
This has been detected by the Clang thread-safety analyzer.
The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-43358 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========
The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
