{"id":"AZL-102989","summary":"CVE-2026-90401 affecting package kernel 6.6.150.1-1","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nmd: remove REQ_NOWAIT support from raid1/10/456\n\nREQ_NOWAIT support in md personalities that can block internally is\nfundamentally incomplete. While reads can avoid some blocking paths,\nwrite requests can still encounter cases where one mirror succeeds while\nanother returns -EAGAIN. At that point md cannot distinguish queue\npressure from a real device failure, so it can neither record a bad\nblock nor safely retry the write without REQ_NOWAIT, leaving mirrors\nwith divergent data.\n\nRather than continue advertising REQ_NOWAIT support for personalities\nthat cannot implement it correctly, remove it from raid1, raid10 and\nraid456. Keep REQ_NOWAIT for linear and raid0, which only remap bios to\ntheir underlying devices; stacked limits will still clear the feature if\nany component device lacks REQ_NOWAIT support.","modified":"2026-09-18T14:18:02.905034087Z","published":"2026-09-17T17:17:39Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-90401"],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-90401"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"kernel","ecosystem":"Azure Linux:3","purl":"pkg:rpm/azure-linux/kernel"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"6.6.150.1-1"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/microsoft/AzureLinuxVulnerabilityData/blob/main/osv/AZL-102989.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
