Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's RAID5 module. When a low-level bitmap (llbitmap) bit state is unwritten in a degraded array, a missing check during write operations can cause the system to enter an infinite loop. This can lead to an I/O hang, effectively resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) for the affected system.
