Recommended response

Check inventory. Check lockfiles and deployed manifests for Linux/Linux.
Review the reported fix. Update Linux/Linux to 04ec2f3b29b3c8a59950b8816b5ebc8ba052808a 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: gfs2: move quota_init qc iterator increment Move qc++ from the loop body into the for-loop increment expression in gfs2_quota_init(). This keeps iterator progression explicit and avoids mixing pointer advance with duplicate-slot handling in the loop body.
