Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's NTFS3 file system driver. A local attacker could craft a malicious NTFS file system image that, when mounted, would cause an offset addition to overflow during the parsing of Master File Table (MFT) attributes. This overflow could lead to an out-of-bounds memory read/write, potentially resulting in a denial of service or privilege escalation.
