CVE-2026-23423
Vulnerability Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: free pages on error in btrfs_uring_read_extent()
In this function the 'pages' object is never freed in the hopes that it is
picked up by btrfs_uring_read_finished() whenever that executes in the
future. But that's just the happy path. Along the way previous
allocations might have gone wrong, or we might not get -EIOCBQUEUED from
btrfs_encoded_read_regular_fill_pages(). In all these cases, we go to a
cleanup section that frees all memory allocated by this function without
assuming any deferred execution, and this also needs to happen for the
'pages' allocation.
