Overview

CVE-2026-74373 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on August 15, 2026.

Technical description

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

md/raid1,raid10: fix bio accounting for split md cloned bios

Use md_cloned_bio() to control bio accounting instead of relying

on r1bio_existed in raid1 or the io_accounting flag in raid10.

The previous logic does not reliably reflect whether a bio is an

md cloned bio. When a failed bio is split and resubmitted via

bio_submit_split_bioset() on the error path, this can lead to either

double accounting for md cloned bios, or missing accounting for bios

returned from bio_submit_split_bioset()

Fix this by using md_cloned_bio() to detect md cloned bios and

skip accounting accordingly.
