"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nfs/ntfs3: prevent potential lcn remains uninitialized\n\nThe target VCN being sought was not found within runs[0], causing\nrun_lookup() to return false. This causes run_lookup_entry() to return\nfalse, which in turn results in a len value of 0, and the new parameter\npassed to attr_data_get_block() is NULL. Collectively, these factors\nultimately cause attr_data_get_block_locked() to exit prematurely without\ninitializing lcn, thereby triggering [1].\n\nTo prevent [1], the clen check within ni_seek_data_or_hole() has been\nmoved to occur before the lcn check.\n\n[1]\nBUG: KMSAN: uninit-value in ni_seek_data_or_hole+0x24f/0x5f0 fs/ntfs3/frecord.c:2862\n ni_seek_data_or_hole+0x24f/0x5f0 fs/ntfs3/frecord.c:2862\n ntfs_llseek+0x22a/0x4a0 fs/ntfs3/file.c:1530\n vfs_llseek fs/read_write.c:391 [inline]"

"value": "AV:N - On servers exporting an NTFS3-backed volume via ksmbd or nfsd, a remote client can trigger ntfs_llseek(SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE) through FSCTL_QUERY_ALLOCATED_RANGES or NFS SEEK operations, exercising ni_seek_data_or_hole() without local shell access.\nAC:L - The bug is reliably reproducible with attacker-crafted NTFS metadata where the target VCN is absent from runs[0], causing attr_data_get_block_locked() to return success with clen=0 and leave lcn uninitialized; syzkaller demonstrated deterministic triggering.\nPR:L - Exploitation requires only an unprivileged local user with read access to a file on a mounted ntfs3 volume, or an authenticated SMB/NFS client with permission to open/query that file; mounting the filesystem itself is not required for the trigger path.\nUI:N - On typical server deployments the NTFS volume is already mounted and exported; the attacker only needs network or local file access to invoke lseek/SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE on crafted metadata, with no additional victim interaction beyond normal file access.\nS:U - The flaw is confined to incorrect ntfs3 SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE handling in kernel filesystem code and does not cross VM, container, or IOMMU security boundaries; impact remains within the same kernel security authority.\nC:H - ni_seek_data_or_hole() compares uninitialized stack variable lcn against RESIDENT_LCN/EOF_LCN/SPARSE_LCN before validating clen==0, constituting a kernel uninitialized-memory read whose branch outcomes and returned seek offsets can leak kernel stack residue to userspace or remote SMB/NFS clients.\nI:L - Garbage lcn values can force incorrect SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE results (wrong offsets, premature -ENXIO, or invalid positions), corrupting the integrity of file-offset queries returned to local processes or remote clients even though no arbitrary kernel write primitive is demonstrated.\nA:N - The reported failure mode is a KMSAN uninit-value in ni_seek_data_or_hole(); production kernels without KMSAN take mis-branches that return errors or incorrect offsets rather than oopsing, panicking, or hanging the system."
