Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's NTFS3 file system driver. When a file is truncated, and an error occurs during the process of setting the attribute size, the system silently ignores this error. This oversight can lead to the file's inode, which stores critical file system metadata, being left in an inconsistent state. Such an inconsistency could potentially result in data corruption or compromise the stability of the system.

Mitigation

No mitigation is specified in collected source.
