Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's NTFS file system driver. This vulnerability, a use-after-free, arises from insufficient protection during concurrent operations on the volume label. A local attacker could exploit this by simultaneously setting and getting the file system label, which may lead to system instability or potentially allow for arbitrary code execution.

Mitigation

No mitigation is specified in collected source.
