We have already found\nsimilar reports as follows:\n1) commit d17f744e883b (\"md-raid10: fix KASAN warning\")\n2) commit 1ebc2cec0b7d (\"dm raid: fix KASAN warning in raid5_remove_disk\")\nFix this bug by checking whether the \"number\" variable is\nvalid." ],
  "statement" : "Fixes a potential out-of-bounds access in raid1_remove_disk() when rdev->raid_disk exceeds the configured number of RAID1 mirrors, which could dereference beyond conf->mirrors. Practically this can lead to a kernel crash (DoS) during array reconfiguration or disk removal, but it requires root/RAID management privileges to reach this path (e.g., via mdadm), not ordinary I/O or remote traffic. For the CVSS the PR:H because triggering it requires high-privilege md/raid control operations.",
