In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: fix to truncate preallocated blocks in f2fs_file_open()

It is because inode.i_crypt_info is not initialized during below path:
- mount
- f2fs_fill_super
- f2fs_disable_checkpoint
- f2fs_gc
- f2fs_iget
- f2fs_truncate
So, let's relocate truncation of preallocated blocks to f2fs_file_open(),
after fscrypt_file_open().

FAQ: Is Azure Linux the only Microsoft product that includes this open-source library and is therefore potentially affected by this vulnerability?
One of the main benefits to our customers who choose to use the Azure Linux distro is the commitment to keep it up to date with the most recent and most secure versions of the open source libraries with which the distro is composed. Microsoft is committed to transparency in this work which is why we began publishing CSAF/VEX in October 2025. See this blog post for more information. If impact to additional products is identified, we will update the CVE to reflect this.
