"The version of kernel installed on the remote Azure Linux 3.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore,
affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2024-42077 advisory.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ocfs2: fix DIO failure due to
    insufficient transaction credits The code in ocfs2_dio_end_io_write() estimates number of necessary
    transaction credits using ocfs2_calc_extend_credits(). This however does not take into account that the IO
    could be arbitrarily large and can contain arbitrary number of extents. Extent tree manipulations do often
    extend the current transaction but not in all of the cases. For example if we have only single block
    extents in the tree, ocfs2_mark_extent_written() will end up calling ocfs2_replace_extent_rec() all the
    time and we will never extend the current transaction and eventually exhaust all the transaction credits
    if the IO contains many single block extents. Once that happens a
    WARN_ON(jbd2_handle_buffer_credits(handle) <= 0) is triggered in jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata() and
    subsequently OCFS2 aborts in response to this error. This was actually triggered by one of our customers
    on a heavily fragmented OCFS2 filesystem. To fix the issue make sure the transaction always has enough
    credits for one extent insert before each call of ocfs2_mark_extent_written(). Heming Zhao said: ------
