      <title>CVE-2024-35808 — md/dm-raid: don't call md_reap_sync_thread() directly</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2024-35808</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;md/dm-raid: don&amp;#39;t call md_reap_sync_thread() directly&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Currently md_reap_sync_thread() is called from raid_message() directly
without holding &amp;#39;reconfig_mutex&amp;#39;, this is definitely unsafe because
md_reap_sync_thread() can change many fields that is protected by
&amp;#39;reconfig_mutex&amp;#39;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, hold &amp;#39;reconfig_mutex&amp;#39; here is still problematic because this
will cause deadlock, for example, commit 130443d60b1b (&amp;#34;md: refactor
idle/frozen_sync_thread() to fix deadlock&amp;#34;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fix this problem by using stop_sync_thread() to unregister sync_thread,
like md/raid did.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
