Recommended response

Check inventory. Check lockfiles and deployed manifests for Linux/Linux, Linux/Linux.
Review the reported fix. Update Linux/Linux to 493447dd8336607fce426f7879e581095f6c606e if you use the affected versions. Test the change in a non-production environment first.

Sources and claim methodology

Upstream source description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: udf: refactor inode_bmap() to handle error Refactor inode_bmap() to handle error since udf_next_aext() can return error now. On situations like ftruncate, udf_extend_file() can now detect errors and bail out early without resorting to checking for particular offsets and assuming internal behavior of these functions.
