CVE-2026-23356

/// Technical description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drbd: fix "LOGIC BUG" in drbd_al_begin_io_nonblock()

Even though we check that we "should" be able to do lc_get_cumulative()

while holding the device->al_lock spinlock, it may still fail,

if some other code path decided to do lc_try_lock() with bad timing.

If that happened, we logged "LOGIC BUG for enr=...",

but still did not return an error.

The rest of the code now assumed that this request has references

for the relevant activity log extents.

The implcations are that during an active resync, mutual exclusivity of

resync versus application IO is not guaranteed. And a potential crash

at this point may not realizs that these extents could have been target

of in-flight IO and would need to be resynced just in case.

Also, once the request completes, it will give up activity log references it

does not even hold, which will trigger a BUG_ON(refcnt == 0) in lc_put().

Fix:

Do not crash the kernel for a condition that

/// Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
