Summary
CVE-2026-46046 affecting package kernel for versions less than 6.6.141.1-1
Details

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

ext4: fix missing brelse() in ext4xattrinodedecref_all()

The commit c8e008b60492 ("ext4: ignore xattrs past end") introduced a refcount leak in when block_csum is false.

ext4xattrinodedecrefall() calls ext4getinodeloc() to get iloc.bh, but never releases it with brelse().
