CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the ntfs_set_ea() function in fs/ntfs3/xattr.c in Linux kernel ntfs3 subsystem. A local user can trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system or crash the OS kernel.
