Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ntfs: propagate reparse index insertion failure
update_reparse_data() ignores the return value of
set_reparse_index(). When index insertion fails, the code removes
the just-written reparse data as cleanup but still returns 0, so
symlink(2) (and WSL special file creation) reports success while
no reparse data exists on disk. When there was no previous reparse
data (oldsize == 0), the failure was likewise silently ignored.
Propagate the error to the caller.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's NTFS file system driver. When an index insertion fails during a reparse data update, the driver ignores the error and returns success instead of propagating the failure. A local user creating symbolic links or special files can trigger this issue, causing file creation operations to falsely report success even though required metadata was not saved to disk. This can result in file system data inconsistency and unexpected application failures.
