{"id":"AZL-111257","summary":"CVE-2026-99136 affecting package kernel 6.6.157.1-1","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ndm-crypt: fix a tiny race condition in crypt_dec_pending\n\ncrypt_dec_pending reads io-\u003eerror before calling atomic_dec_and_test.\nAnother context, for example crypt_endio called from an interrupt, may\nset io-\u003eerror and drop its reference between the read and the\ndecrement. crypt_dec_pending then drops the last reference and completes\nthe bio with the stale status - so a read that failed and was never\ndecrypted, or a write that failed, is reported as successful.\n\nThe read was placed before the decrement by commit b35f8caa0890 (\"dm\ncrypt: wait for endio to complete before destruction\"), because that\ncommit freed dm_crypt_io before calling bio_endio. This is no longer the\ncase, dm_crypt_io lives in the per-bio data now.\n\nRead io-\u003eerror after atomic_dec_and_test instead. atomic_dec_and_test is\nfully ordered, so no additional barrier is needed.","modified":"2026-10-30T05:35:37Z","published":"2026-10-28T11:17:33Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-99136"],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-99136"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"kernel","ecosystem":"Azure Linux:3","purl":"pkg:rpm/azure-linux/kernel"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"6.6.157.1-1"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/microsoft/AzureLinuxVulnerabilityData/blob/main/osv/AZL-111257.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.2"}
