Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-64532)

CWE-ID: CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write

CVSSv4: 6.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to out-of-bounds write in do_action() in fs/ntfs3/fslog.c when processing a crafted on-disk NTFS index entry in UpdateRecordDataRoot or UpdateRecordDataAllocation. A local user can mount or otherwise supply a specially crafted NTFS image to trigger the out-of-bounds write and cause a denial of service.

The issue occurs because view.data_off and the resulting write length are not properly bounded against the NTFS_DE entry size.
