__pfx_kthread+0x10/0x10 ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30 </TASK> This happens when 'clear_inode()' makes an
attempt to finalize an underlying JFS inode of unknown type. According to JFS layout description from
https://jfs.sourceforge.net/project/pub/jfslayout.pdf, inode types from 5 to 15 are reserved for future
extensions and should not be encountered on a valid filesystem. So add an extra check for valid inode type
in 'copy_from_dinode()'. (CVE-2025-37925)

Solution

Update the linux library and its related packages to version 6.1.148-1 or later.
