ntfs3 is a local block-device filesystem with no network exposure.\nAC:L - The attacker fully controls the on-disk image and can deterministically craft a directory with an empty $I30 $BITMAP plus existing index blocks, then trigger the split with a single long-filename rename; no race or uncontrollable condition is involved.\nPR:N - The attacker only needs to supply the malicious NTFS image (USB stick, disk image, removable media); the mount is performed by the system/automounter or a privileged user, so the attacker holds no privileges on the target.\nUI:R - The crafted NTFS filesystem must be mounted \u2014 via a user inserting the removable media or an administrator/automounter mounting the image \u2014 before the rename() path can be exercised.\nS:U - The corruption and crash stay within the kernel of the machine that mounted the image; no VM, IOMMU, or other security-authority boundary is crossed.\nC:H - Reusing an in-use VBN creates two aliased indx_node objects over the same block, leaving index headers that no longer describe their contents and entries spliced across unrelated index blocks, which exposes directory metadata through the index parsers to the attacker.\nI:H - A live index allocation block is re-formatted and overwritten with no bitmap tracking, destroying existing directory entries and leaving the inode with an unremovable duplicate $FILE_NAME plus a bitmap/allocation mismatch that propagates further metadata corruption.\nA:H - The failed rename rollback trips WARN_ON() in ni_rename(), which is a kernel panic on the panic_on_warn configurations common in hardened, Android, and cloud deployments, and the volume is additionally marked NTFS_DIRTY_ERROR."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["fs/ntfs3/index.c"], "versions": [{"version": "47856e10f8d5e066aa26b1f9c02d933fe0620399", "lessThan": "aab2e34b139f6df71ab2b1adeec9927c206adc79", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "b35a50d639ca5259466ef5fea85529bb4fb17d5b", "lessThan": "978aac54e93ea35aab20b32ae393d3d33964e7ae", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "3ed2cc6a6e93fbeb8c0cafce1e7fb1f64a331dcc", "lessThan": "be66551da203862c689c12e1d35ce87217c017c1", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "d99208b91933fd2a58ed9ed321af07dacd06ddc3", "lessThan": "039ddf353cc33f6546a87ec1ac3210637d714bec", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "d99208b91933fd2a58ed9ed321af07dacd06ddc3", "lessThan": "0dc7117da8f92dd5fe077d712a756eccbe377d40", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "358d4f821c03add421a4c49290538a705852ccf1", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "a285395020780adac1ffbc844069c3d700bf007a", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "6.6.102", "lessThan": "6.6.112", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.12.42", "lessThan": "6.12.53", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.15.10", "lessThan": "6.16", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.16.1", "lessThan": "6.17", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver"}]}, {"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["fs/ntfs3/index.c"], "versions": [{"version": "6.17", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "6.17", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.6.112", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.12.53", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.17.3", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.17.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.18", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix"}]}], "cpeApplicability": [{"nodes": [{"operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.6.102", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.112"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.12.42", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.53"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.17", "versionEndExcluding": "6.17.3"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.17", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.15.10"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.16.1"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/aab2e34b139f6df71ab2b1adeec9927c206adc79"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/978aac54e93ea35aab20b32ae393d3d33964e7ae"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/be66551da203862c689c12e1d35ce87217c017c1"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/039ddf353cc33f6546a87ec1ac3210637d714bec"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0dc7117da8f92dd5fe077d712a756eccbe377d40"}], "title": "fs/ntfs3: reject index allocation if $BITMAP is empty but blocks exist", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
