No network-facing service parses this data.\nAC:L - The attacker fully authors the on-disk INDEX_ROOT that supplies the oversized `to_move`, so the overflow is deterministic and repeatable with no race, timing window, or uncontrolled memory-layout dependency.\nPR:L - Once the volume is mounted, the vulnerable path (`ntfs_create`/`ntfs_mkdir`/rename → `indx_insert_entry`) is reachable by any unprivileged user with write access to a directory, and on desktop/kiosk/automotive systems udisks2 or systemd automount lets an ordinary local-session user mount their own crafted NTFS media without additional privilege.\nUI:N - The attacker performs both steps — supplying/mounting the crafted image via automount and issuing the file-creation syscall — with no action required from any other user; this matches the established scoring for the sibling ntfs3 crafted-image CVEs.\nS:U - The corruption is confined to kernel slab memory within the same security authority; there is no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary crossed.\nC:H - The `memmove()` in `indx_insert_into_buffer()` reads up to ~17 KB of adjacent kernel slab data (heap pointers, other objects) into the index buffer, which `indx_write()` then persists to disk where the attacker can read it back from their own image — a direct kernel-heap disclosure primitive.\nI:H - `hdr_insert_head()` performs an unchecked `memmove`/`memcpy` past the end of the `kmalloc(1u << index_bits)` index buffer with attacker-controlled length and attacker-authored entry bytes, giving a controllable slab overflow that can overwrite adjacent objects and be leveraged for arbitrary write and control-flow hijack.\nA:H - The out-of-bounds access produced a KASAN slab-out-of-bounds report and, on production kernels, corrupts adjacent slab objects and heap metadata, reliably leading to an oops or panic." } ] } ], "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": "82cae269cfa953032fbb8980a7d554d60fb00b17", "lessThan": "cd7e1d67924081717c5c96ead758a1a77867689a", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "82cae269cfa953032fbb8980a7d554d60fb00b17", "lessThan": "17048287ac79abd33b275ac3b5738285d406481b", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "82cae269cfa953032fbb8980a7d554d60fb00b17", "lessThan": "a7e5dba10ba1402dd6c2f961a70320770865c4a5", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "82cae269cfa953032fbb8980a7d554d60fb00b17", "lessThan": "4bf3b564e27a518f158a83d5e1a50064ed6136a0", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "82cae269cfa953032fbb8980a7d554d60fb00b17", "lessThan": "b8c44949044e5f7f864525fdffe8e95135ce9ce5", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" } ] }, { "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": "5.15", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "5.15", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "5.15.111", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.15.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.1.28", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.2.15", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.2.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.3.2", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.3.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.4", "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": "5.15", "versionEndExcluding": "5.15.111" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.15", "versionEndExcluding": "6.1.28" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.15", "versionEndExcluding": "6.2.15" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.15", "versionEndExcluding": "6.3.2" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.15", "versionEndExcluding": "6.4" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/cd7e1d67924081717c5c96ead758a1a77867689a" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/17048287ac79abd33b275ac3b5738285d406481b" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a7e5dba10ba1402dd6c2f961a70320770865c4a5" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4bf3b564e27a518f158a83d5e1a50064ed6136a0" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b8c44949044e5f7f864525fdffe8e95135ce9ce5" } ], "title": "fs/ntfs3: Fix OOB read in indx_insert_into_buffer", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } } } }
