"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-2024-49881 advisory.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ext4: update orig_path in
    ext4_find_extent() In ext4_find_extent(), if the path is not big enough, we free it and set *orig_path to
    NULL. But after reallocating and successfully initializing the path, we don't update *orig_path, in which
    case the caller gets a valid path but a NULL ppath, and this May cause a NULL pointer dereference or a
    path memory leak. For example: ext4_split_extent path = *ppath = 2000 ext4_find_extent if (depth >
    path[0].p_maxdepth) kfree(path = 2000); *orig_path = path = NULL; path = kcalloc() = 3000
    ext4_split_extent_at(*ppath = NULL) path = *ppath; ex = path[depth].p_ext; // NULL pointer dereference!
    ================================================================== BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference,
    address: 0000000000000010 CPU: 6 UID: 0 PID: 576 Comm: fsstress Not tainted 6.11.0-rc2-dirty #847 RIP:

    ================================================================== Therefore, *orig_path is updated when
    the extent lookup succeeds, so that the caller can safely use path or *ppath. (CVE-2024-49881)
