Microsoft’s one-line advisory that “Azure Linux includes this open‑source library and is therefore potentially affected” is accurate — but it is a product‑scoped attestation, not a guarantee that no other Microsoft product could include the same vulnerable GFS2 code. Background / Overview The...

The Linux kernel received a targeted fix that prevents the GFS2 filesystem from triggering recursive memory reclaim through page-cache allocations — a change recorded as CVE-2025-68356 and intended to remove a subtle but real deadlock and stack-exhaustion hazard when GFS2 code allocates page...

A rare but real race in the GFS2 cluster filesystem has been closed: CVE-2025-40242 addresses an unlikely timing window in gdlm_put_lock where the unmount sequence could free a glock while DLM callbacks still had a live path to it, producing a use-after-free that can crash or corrupt a kernel...
