Official Description

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

bcache: fix cached_dev.sb_bio use-after-free and crash

In our production environment, we have received multiple crash reports

regarding libceph, which have caught our attention:

```

```

After analyzing the coredump file, we found that the address of

dc->sb_bio has been freed. We know that cached_dev is only freed when it

is stopped.

Since sb_bio is a part of struct cached_dev, rather than an alloc every

time. If the device is stopped while writing to the superblock, the

released address will be accessed at endio.

This patch hopes to wait for sb_write to complete in cached_dev_free.

It should be noted that we analyzed the cause of the problem, then tell

all details to the QWEN and adopted the modifications it made.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-31580 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.

Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.

A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 7.8.
