"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2025-990591 advisory.

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    btrfs: fix qgroup reserve overflow the qgroup limit

    We use extent_changeset->bytes_changed in qgroup_reserve_data() to record
    how many bytes we set for EXTENT_QGROUP_RESERVED state. Currently the
    bytes_changed is set as unsigned int, and it will overflow if we try to
    fallocate a range larger than 4GiB. The result is we reserve less bytes
    and eventually break the qgroup limit.

    Unlike regular buffered/direct write, which we use one changeset for
    each ordered extent, which can never be larger than 256M.  For
    fallocate, we use one changeset for the whole range, thus it no longer
    respects the 256M per extent limit, and caused the problem.

    The following example test script reproduces the problem:

      $ cat qgroup-overflow.sh
      #!/bin/bash

      DEV=/dev/sdj
      MNT=/mnt/sdj

      mkfs.btrfs -f $DEV
      mount $DEV $MNT

      # Set qgroup limit to 2GiB.
      btrfs quota enable $MNT
      btrfs qgroup limit 2G $MNT

      # Try to fallocate a 3GiB file. This should fail.
      echo
      echo Try to fallocate a 3GiB file...
      fallocate -l 3G $MNT/3G.file

      # Try to fallocate a 5GiB file.
      echo
      echo Try to fallocate a 5GiB file...
      fallocate -l 5G $MNT/5G.file

      # See we break the qgroup limit.
      echo
      sync
      btrfs qgroup show -r $MNT

      umount $MNT

    When running the test:

      $ ./qgroup-overflow.sh
      (...)

      Try to fallocate a 3GiB file...
      fallocate: fallocate failed: Disk quota exceeded

      Try to fallocate a 5GiB file...

      qgroupid rfer excl max_rfer
      -------- ---- ---- --------
      0/5 5.00GiB 5.00GiB 2.00GiB

    Since we have no control of how bytes_changed is used, it's better to
    set it to u64.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Unity Linux security advisory.
