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.

  - ext4: fix kernel BUG in ext4_write_inline_data_end When the data=journal mount option is used, the     ext4_journalled_write_end() function incorrectly calls ext4_write_inline_data_end() without checking if     the EXT4_STATE_MAY_INLINE_DATA flag is still set on the inode. If a previous attempt to convert the inline     data to an extent failed (e.g. due to ENOSPC), the EXT4_STATE_MAY_INLINE_DATA flag is cleared, but the     EXT4_INODE_INLINE_DATA flag remains set. In this scenario, the next call to ext4_write_begin() will not     prepare the inline data xattr for writing, but ext4_journalled_write_end() will incorrectly attempt to     write to it, triggering a BUG_ON(pos + len > EXT4_I(inode)->i_inline_size) in ext4_write_inline_data()     since i_inline_size was not expanded. Fix this by ensuring that ext4_journalled_write_end() only calls     ext4_write_inline_data_end() if the EXT4_STATE_MAY_INLINE_DATA flag is set, mirroring the behavior of     ext4_write_end() and ext4_da_write_end(). (CVE-2026-74308)

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