How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.7 kernel-livepatch-6_4_0-150700_7_78-rt to version 1-150700.1.3.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-livepatch-6_4_0-150700_7_78-rt package and not the kernel-livepatch-6_4_0-150700_7_78-rt package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.7 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

btrfs: qgroup: fix a wrong length calculation in qgroup_free_reserved_data()

In that function, we round down the start position and round up the ending position.

But during the calculation of @len, we use "round_up(start + len, sectorsize)", which is the rounded up end position, not the rounded up length.

Which results a much larger length, and later we are still using "start + len", which is completely incorrect.

Fix it by declaring a local @aligned_start and @aligned_len and use them instead.
