CVE-2026-31435CVE-2026-31435
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfs: Fix read abandonment during retry
Under certain circumstances, all the remaining subrequests from a read
request will get abandoned during retry. The abandonment process expects
the 'subreq' variable to be set to the place to start abandonment from, but
it doesn't always have a useful value (it will be uninitialised on the
first pass through the loop and it may point to a deleted subrequest on
later passes).
Fix the first jump to "abandon:" to set subreq to the start of the first
subrequest expected to need retry (which, in this abandonment case, turned
out unexpectedly to no longer have NEED_RETRY set).
Also clear the subreq pointer after discarding superfluous retryable
subrequests to cause an oops if we do try to access it.
