Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE 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 BUG_ON() on ENOMEM when dropping extent items for a range If we get -ENOMEM while dropping     file extent items in a given range, at btrfs_drop_extents(), due to failure to allocate memory when     attempting to increment the reference count for an extent or drop the reference count, we handle it with a     BUG_ON(). This is excessive, instead we can simply abort the transaction and return the error to the     caller. In fact most callers of btrfs_drop_extents(), directly or indirectly, already abort the     transaction if btrfs_drop_extents() returns any error. Also, we already have error paths at     btrfs_drop_extents() that may return -ENOMEM and in those cases we abort the transaction, like for example     anything that changes the b+tree may return -ENOMEM due to a failure to allocate a new extent buffer when     COWing an existing extent buffer, such as a call to btrfs_duplicate_item() for example. So replace the     BUG_ON() calls with proper logic to abort the transaction and return the error. (CVE-2022-50293)

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