"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nntfs: protect runlist updates with the runlist lock\n\nntfs_non_resident_attr_shrink() calls runlist helpers that require the\nrunlist write lock, but did not hold it while freeing clusters and\ntruncating the runlist. Serialize those operations and the resident\nconversion with the runlist lock.\n\nntfs_attr_map_cluster() can merge a newly allocated run before updating\nmapping pairs. If the update fails, free the clusters and restore both\nthe in-memory runlist and on-disk mapping pairs from a saved runlist.\nMark the volume in error if either rollback step fails."

"value": "AV:L - The trigger is a local ftruncate() on a file in a mounted NTFS volume, via ntfs_setattr_size()->ntfs_truncate_vfs()->__ntfs_attr_truncate_vfs()->ntfs_non_resident_attr_shrink(). That path frees clusters and calls ntfs_rl_truncate_nolock() without ni->runlist.lock. No remote protocol supplies the input; it is a locking defect on a well-formed volume.\nAC:L - The attacker runs both sides of the race: one thread dirties and fsync()s the file, driving ntfs_writeback_range()->__ntfs_write_iomap_begin(), which walks and merges ni->runlist.rl under runlist.lock. Another thread repeatedly ftruncate()s the same file, reallocating or kvfree()ing rl without that lock. It can be retried at will.\nPR:L - The attacker only needs an ordinary local account with write permission on a file in an already-mounted NTFS volume, as needed for setattr ATTR_SIZE and writeback. No capability is checked on this path.\nUI:N - No crafted image or victim mount is needed. The race works against any legitimately mounted NTFS volume, using only the attacker's own truncate and write/fsync calls on a file the attacker can already write.\nS:U - The memory corruption stays within the kernel's own security authority. No guest/host, IOMMU or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - ntfs_rl_truncate_nolock() reallocates or frees the kvmalloc'd runlist array while writeback still holds a pointer into it, so the freed slab can be reclaimed and its contents read back as cluster mappings (LCNs). That can direct I/O at arbitrary disk clusters, and is a use-after-free read of kernel memory.\nI:H - The writeback path merges new runs into the freed or reallocated runlist array (heap use-after-free write). Concurrently, ntfs_cluster_free() and the shrink update the shared runlist and on-disk mapping pairs without serialization, corrupting both kernel heap memory and filesystem metadata.\nA:H - Losing the race leads to a KASAN use-after-free or oops in the runlist walk, a double kvfree, or a corrupted runlist and mapping pairs that leave the volume inconsistent and can crash later lookups."
