The #ext4 data corruption issue[1] in #Linux #kernel v6.1.64 and v6.1.65 that was fixed with #LinuxKernel 6.1.66[2] apparently hit #Debian 12.3 bookworm point release[3]. Fixes are in the works, but preparing them will take a bit[4].

If I'm understanding the kernel change logs, this bug also affects kernel 5.15 versions earlier than 5.15.142. And it doesn't affect verisons 6.5 or later. (I hope a knowledgable person will double-check me on this.)
