Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)

Description A double-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s NTFS3 subsystem. This issue occurs when a user triggers remount and umount simultaneously, allowing a local user to crash or potentially escalate their privileges on the system. The flaw is related to a race condition due to concurrent access to a resource, which can lead to a double-free error. This can impact the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information or allow an attacker to elevate their privileges.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
