an ordinary authorized share user suffices without administrative capabilities.\nUI:N - Once the NTFS3 volume is mounted and shared, the attacker can issue truncation requests without any victim action.\nS:U - The inconsistent inode and resulting filesystem availability impact remain within the host kernel and filesystem security authority.\nC:N - The bug provides no memory-read primitive, and data beyond the reduced valid-data length is unmapped or zero-filled rather than disclosed.\nI:L - The ignored failure can desynchronize VFS size, valid-data length, allocation runs, attribute-list records, and parent metadata, causing limited persistent filesystem corruption without an arbitrary memory-write primitive.\nA:H - The inconsistency can mark an inode bad, make files inaccessible, persist damaged NTFS metadata, or render the affected volume unusable;
