Описание

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ntfs3: reject direct userspace writes to reserved $LX* xattrs NTFS3 uses $LXUID, $LXGID, $LXMOD and $LXDEV as internal WSL permission metadata and reloads them into i_uid, i_gid and i_mode from ntfs_get_wsl_perm(). Because the empty-prefix xattr handler also lets file owners call setxattr() on these names directly, an unprivileged writer on a writable ntfs3 mount can plant root ownership and S_ISUID on their own file and gain euid 0 after inode reload. Reject direct userspace writes to the reserved $LX* names. Internal ntfs3 metadata updates are unchanged because ntfs_save_wsl_perm() writes them via ntfs_set_ea() directly. [almaz.alexandrovich@paragon-software.com: added an additional check for non privileged users]

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ntfs3 filesystem driver. An unprivileged local user with write access to an ntfs3 mounted filesystem can exploit a vulnerability by directly modifying internal Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) permission metadata. This manipulation allows the user to gain root privileges on the system.
