All pagelocks were released in f2fs_write_raw_pages(), but whether the page was in the     writeback state was ignored in the subsequent writing process. Let's fix it by waiting for the page to     writeback before writing. (CVE-2023-54068)

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

An update of the linux package has been released.
