Debian 12.3: data corruption with ext4 and kernel 6.1.64-1

The rollout of Debian 12.3 has been paused due to a data corruption issue in the 6.1.64-1 kernel when using the ext4 filesystem: https://www.debian.org/News/2023/2023120902

For amd64, the affected package is linux-image-6.1.0-14-amd64 as it ships kernel 6.1.64-1.

It can be prevented from being installed, by setting the Pin-Priority for this version to -1:

$ cat /etc/apt/preferences.d/2023-12-10-kernel-ext4-bug
# https://www.debian.org/News/2023/2023120902
Package: linux-image-amd64
Pin: version 6.1.64-1
Pin-Priority: -1

Package: linux-image-rt-amd64
Pin: version 6.1.64-1
Pin-Priority: -1

This can be verified using apt-cache policy:

$ apt-cache policy linux-image-amd64
