Overview

CVE-2026-74319 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on August 15, 2026.

Technical description

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

btrfs: zoned: fix deadlock waiting for ticket during data relocation

When performing data relocation on a zoned filesystem, BTRFS can deadlock

in handle_reserve_tickets(). The relocation process is waiting on a space

reservation ticket that can never be fulfilled, because the relocation

itself is the operation responsible for freeing up that space.

Fix this by introducing a new flush state,

BTRFS_RESERVE_FLUSH_ZONED_RELOCATION, specifically for data chunk

allocation during zoned relocation. Like

BTRFS_RESERVE_FLUSH_FREE_SPACE_INODE, this state uses

priority_reclaim_data_space() instead of the normal flushing path, which

avoids re-entering the relocation code and breaking the deadlock cycle.

In btrfs_alloc_data_chunk_ondemand(), select this new flush state when the

inode belongs to a data relocation root on a zoned filesystem.

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-74319?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-74319 is actually reachable in your own applications and APIs, then verifies each finding before reporting it. That tells you if the weakness is a real, exploitable risk in your environment or a false positive you can safely deprioritize.
