Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's NTFS file system driver. When resizing file attributes, the driver incorrectly passes a base Master File Table (MFT) record pointer instead of an extent record pointer, leading to improper buffer size calculations during memory operations. A local attacker could exploit this flaw by manipulating file attributes on a mounted NTFS file system, potentially causing memory corruption and a system crash resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).
