Amazon Linux 2023: CVE-2025-40179: Important priority package update for kernel (Multiple Advisories)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: verify orphan file size is not too big
In principle orphan file can be arbitrarily large. However orphan replay
needs to traverse it all and we also pin all its buffers in memory. Thus
filesystems with absurdly large orphan files can lead to big amounts of
memory consumed. Limit orphan file size to a sane value and also use
kvmalloc() for allocating array of block descriptor structures to avoid
large order allocations for sane but large orphan files.
