The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow in the NTFS mapping-pairs parser when parsing a corrupted NTFS attribute. A local user can supply a crafted NTFS runlist to cause a denial of service.
The issue can occur when a mapping-pairs entry sets the accumulated LCN to S64_MAX and a subsequent entry adds a delta of 1.
