Recommended action
Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.
在 Linux 内核中，以下漏洞已得到解决： md：在销毁位图之前等待“behind writes”（滞后写入） 在调用 之前就销毁了位图。这导致 跳过了 ，因为位图此时已经与 mddev 断开连接。 对于传统的位图实现，这种情况仍然是安全的，因为 本身会等待所有滞后写入完成。而新引入的 （level-1 bitmap）则将等待滞后写入的逻辑保留在其 操作中，而其 操作只负责释放 llbitmap 的存储资源。按照旧的执行顺序，RAID1 的滞后写入完成回调可能在 llbitmap 存储已被释放之后才运行，从而导致

Vulnerability Title
md: wait for behind writes before destroying bitmap
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md: wait for behind writes before destroying bitmap
__md_stop() destroyed the bitmap before calling mddev_detach(). That made
mddev_detach() skip bitmap_ops->wait_behind_writes(), because the bitmap
was already disconnected from mddev.
This was still safe for the legacy bitmap because bitmap_destroy() waits
for behind writes itself. llbitmap keeps that wait in its
->wait_behind_writes() operation instead, while ->destroy() tears down the
llbitmap storage. With the old ordering, RAID1 behind-write completions
could still run after llbitmap storage had been freed.
Call mddev_detach() before md_bitmap_destroy() so the common detach path
can wait for behind writes while the bitmap is still alive. Only destroy
the bitmap after those users are gone.
