 ocfs2_fiemap() takes a read lock of the ip_alloc_sem semaphore (since v2.6.22-527-g7307de80510a) and calls
 fiemap_fill_next_extent() to read the extent list of this running mmap executable. The user supplied
 buffer to hold the fiemap information page faults calling ocfs2_page_mkwrite() which will take a write
 lock (since v2.6.27-38-g00dc417fa3e7) of the same semaphore. This recursive semaphore will hold filesystem
 locks and causes a hang of the fileystem. The ip_alloc_sem protects the inode extent list and size.
 Release the read semphore before calling fiemap_fill_next_extent() in ocfs2_fiemap() and
 ocfs2_fiemap_inline(). This does an unnecessary semaphore lock/unlock on the last extent but simplifies
 the error path. (CVE-2025-39885)

Solution

Update the linux library and its related packages to version 6.1.153-1 or later.
