Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's NTFS3 file system driver. When an NTFS file system is mounted on a system with a different page size than the original system, the driver fails to correctly update internal page-related variables. This inconsistency can lead to an incorrect calculation during log replay, causing a system panic and resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).
