Subject: CVE-2022-50752: md/raid5: Remove unnecessary bio_put() in raid5_read_one_chunk()
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...nel.org>
Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md/raid5: Remove unnecessary bio_put() in raid5_read_one_chunk()
When running chunk-sized reads on disks with badblocks duplicate bio
free/puts are observed:

The double free is caused by an unnecessary bio_put() in the
if(is_badblock(...)) error path in raid5_read_one_chunk().
The error path was moved ahead of bio_alloc_clone() in c82aa1b76787c
("md/raid5: move checking badblock before clone bio in
raid5_read_one_chunk"). The previous code checked and freed align_bio
which required a bio_put. After the move that is no longer needed as
raid_bio is returned to the control of the common io path which
performs its own endio resulting in a double free on bad device blocks.
The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2022-50752 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:
