Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ntfs: protect runlist updates with the runlist lock
ntfs_non_resident_attr_shrink() calls runlist helpers that require the
runlist write lock, but did not hold it while freeing clusters and
truncating the runlist. Serialize those operations and the resident
conversion with the runlist lock.
ntfs_attr_map_cluster() can merge a newly allocated run before updating
mapping pairs. If the update fails, free the clusters and restore both
the in-memory runlist and on-disk mapping pairs from a saved runlist.
Mark the volume in error if either rollback step fails.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's NTFS file system. The driver fails to hold the required lock while updating cluster runlists during attribute truncation and rollback operations. A local user could exploit this vulnerability to trigger a race condition, leading to file system corruption or a Denial of Service (DoS) via a system crash.
Отчет
This vulnerability is rated as having a Moderate impact because exploitation requires local access with the ability to interact with a mounted NTFS volume, limiting the blast radius primarily to a denial of service or file system inconsistency rather than remote code execution. In typical Red Hat Enterprise Linux and OpenShift environments, the NTFS file system is neither enabled by default nor commonly utilized in production workloads. Furthermore, supported enterprise releases do not include the upstream kernel changes that introduced this locking defect.
