In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: flex_proportions: make fprop_new_period() hardirq safe Bernd has reported a lockdep splat from flexible proportions code that is essentially complaining about the following race: <timer fires> run_timer_softirq - we are in softirq context call_timer_fn writeout_period fprop_new_period write_seqcount_begin(&p->sequence); <hardirq is raised> ... blk_mq_end_request() blk_update_request() ext4_end_bio() folio_end_writeback() __wb_writeout_add() __fprop_add_percpu_max() if (unlikely(max_frac < FPROP_FRAC_BASE)) { fprop_fraction_percpu() seq = read_seqcount_begin(&p->sequence); - sees odd sequence so loops indefinitely Note that a deadlock like this is only possible if the bdi has configured maximum fraction of writeout throughput which is very rare in general but frequent for example for FUSE bdis. To fix this problem we have to make sure write section of the sequence counter is irqsafe.

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.

An update of the linux package has been released.

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

  - flex_proportions: make fprop_new_period() hardirq safe Bernd has reported a lockdep splat from flexible     proportions code that is essentially complaining about the following race: <timer fires> run_timer_softirq
    - we are in softirq context call_timer_fn writeout_period fprop_new_period     write_seqcount_begin(&p->sequence); <hardirq is raised> ... blk_mq_end_request() blk_update_request()     ext4_end_bio() folio_end_writeback() __wb_writeout_add() __fprop_add_percpu_max() if (unlikely(max_frac <     FPROP_FRAC_BASE)) { fprop_fraction_percpu() seq = read_seqcount_begin(&p->sequence); - sees odd sequence     so loops indefinitely Note that a deadlock like this is only possible if the bdi has configured maximum     fraction of writeout throughput which is very rare in general but frequent for example for FUSE bdis. To     fix this problem we have to make sure write section of the sequence counter is irqsafe. (CVE-2026-23168)

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