Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description The ntfs lookup inode by name() function returns MFT references read from directory index entries on disk. Because these values are untrusted, the function may return an error-marked MFT reference without proper validation. A crafted NTFS image can set the MREF error bit while maintaining arbitrary values in the low bits. This causes callers using MREF ERR() to process a bogus pseudo-errno instead of identifying the lookup result as corrupted on-disk metadata.
Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
