"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nntfs: ->d_compare() must not block\n\n... so don't use __getname() there. Switch it (and ntfs_d_hash(), while\nwe are at it) to kmalloc(PATH_MAX, GFP_NOWAIT). Yes, ntfs_d_hash()\nalmost certainly can do with smaller allocations, but let ntfs folks\ndeal with that - keep the allocation size as-is for now.\n\nStop abusing names_cachep in ntfs, period - various uses of that thing\nin there have nothing to do with pathnames; just use k[mz]alloc() and\nbe done with that. For now let's keep sizes as-in, but AFAICS none of\nthe users actually want PATH_MAX."

{
"lang": "en",
"value": "AV:N - The vulnerable `ntfs_d_compare()` is reached during ordinary VFS pathname lookup on an ntfs3 `nocase` mount; a reasonable high-impact deployment is an ntfs3 volume exported by in-kernel NFS/SMB, where remote client-supplied pathnames drive that lookup. Local syscalls can also trigger it, but the network-file-server path is the higher defensible attack vector.\nAC:L - The attacker controls the lookup pathname and can repeatedly exercise non-ASCII/case-insensitive comparisons that enter the slow path. The bug is a deterministic forbidden blocking allocation in a non-blocking VFS callback, not a race requiring conditions outside attacker influence.\nPR:N - In the network-export scenario, a remote client can issue lookup/open/stat style requests against an exported share without having local privileges on the kernel host. If authentication is configured it may raise environmental requirements, but an unauthenticated or guest-accessible export is reasonable.\nUI:N - No victim user action is required once the vulnerable ntfs3 filesystem is mounted/exported. The attacker triggers the path lookup directly by requesting crafted pathnames.\nS:U - The impact remains within the kernel/filesystem security authority. This is not a VM escape, IOMMU bypass, or cross-scope boundary violation.\nC:N - The bug is sleeping/blocking allocation in `d_compare()`, not a memory disclosure primitive. I found no out-of-bounds read, use-after-free, or arbitrary read behavior in the fixed path.\nI:N - The vulnerable code does not corrupt attacker-controlled memory or provide a write primitive. It violates VFS atomic/RCU locking rules but does not directly modify data or enable control-flow hijacking.\nA:H - Calling `__getname()`/`GFP_KERNEL` from `d_compare()` can sleep in RCU/non-blocking lookup context, causing RCU stalls, soft lockups, warnings/oopses, or deadlock under pressure. Repeated attacker-triggered lookups can therefore deny service to the kernel."
