In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: btrfs: do not free data reservation in fallback from inline due to -ENOSPC If we fail to create an inline extent due to -ENOSPC, we will attempt to go through the normal COW path, reserve an extent, create an ordered extent, etc. However we were always freeing the reserved qgroup data, which is wrong since we will use data. Fix this by freeing the reserved qgroup data in __cow_file_range_inline() only if we are not doing the fallback (ret is <= 0).

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2026-1514 advisory.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - btrfs: do not free data reservation in fallback from inline due to -ENOSPC If we fail to create an inline     extent due to -ENOSPC, we will attempt to go through the normal COW path, reserve an extent, create an     ordered extent, etc. However we were always freeing the reserved qgroup data, which is wrong since we will     use data. Fix this by freeing the reserved qgroup data in __cow_file_range_inline() only if we are not     doing the fallback (ret is <= 0). (CVE-2025-71269)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
