In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md/raid10: fix still_degraded being inverted in raid10_sync_request()
Commit fe6a19d40ceb ("md/md-bitmap: merge md_bitmap_start_sync() into
bitmap_operations") converted still_degraded from int to bool, but
inverted the assignment in the loop that checks whether the array will
still be degraded after the current device is recovered:
"still_degraded = 1" became "still_degraded = false".
As a result, recovering a device while another mirror is still missing
calls md_bitmap_start_sync() with degraded == false, which clears bitmap
bits that the still-missing device needs. When that device is re-added,
its bitmap-based recovery finds the bits already cleared and skips every
region written while the array was degraded, so it is marked In_sync
while holding stale data: silent corruption.
Reproducer (raid10 near=2, 4 disks, internal bitmap):
- fail and remove one disk of each mirror pair
- write to the degraded array
- re-add both disks and let recovery finish
- "check" reports mismatch_cnt=262272 after 256 MiB of degraded
writes and file contents differ; the second disk's "recovery"
completes in milliseconds because everything is skipped
The same conversion in raid1 got it right (still_degraded = true).

SSVC (CISA's decision table, applied by EchelonGraph)Track at low or medium mission impact; Track* at high (mission-essential systems).
A fix is available. Apply it within your standard update timelines.
Exploitation none (no CISA value, KEV listing or exploit code on record) · Automatable no (CISA's BOD 26-04 default) · Technical impact total (CISA's BOD 26-04 default). EchelonGraph holds no SSVC assessment of this CVE from CISA: none of these inputs is from Vulnrichment. EchelonGraph applied CISA's decision table to them; CISA publishes SSVC inputs and the table, not a decision for each CVE. Mission impact is CISA's Mission & Well-being decision point, and only you can judge it. CISA's table makes it high when Mission Prevalence is Essential — the vulnerable component "directly provides capabilities that constitute at least one MEF for at least one entity" (MEF: mission essential function) — or when Public Well-Being Impact is Irreversible: "multiple fatalities are likely", the cyber-physical system "is likely lost or destroyed", "extreme or serious externalities" are imposed on other parties, or social systems such as elections or the financial grid "are destabilized and potentially collapse".

BOD 26-04 (CISA's remediation timeline, Table 1)14 days if the affected system is publicly exposed; Fix on system upgrade if it is not.
In CISA KEV no (CISA's KEV catalog) · Automatable no (CISA's BOD 26-04 default) · Technical impact total (CISA's BOD 26-04 default). Where an input reads “CISA's BOD 26-04 default”, no one has published it for this CVE, and CISA's implementation guidance says: “If “Automatable” and “Technical Impact” information items about a CVE ID are not available and the CVE ID is not in the KEV Catalog, CISA will treat its values as “no” and “total,” respectively, until CISA or a third party provides metadata about the CVE ID. CISA will always provide the Vulnrichment data for a CVE ID listed in the KEV Catalog.” Whether your system is publicly exposed is yours to answer. BOD 26-04 binds US Federal Civilian Executive Branch agencies; for anyone else it is CISA's published timeline, a reference rather than an obligation. The directive · how EchelonGraph applies it
