AI-suggested

A patch is available and has been applied in Linux kernel versions 6.1.191 and 6.2 as well as specific commits referenced. Users and administrators should update to these fixed versions to remediate the issue. Since this is a kernel vulnerability, applying the official kernel updates is the recommended mitigation.

Description

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's NTFS3 filesystem driver was fixed to address a missing run load for vcn0 in the attr_data_get_block_locked() function. The flaw occurs when compressed or sparse attributes have clusters aligned to frames, causing a mismatch between vcn and vcn0. This mismatch can lead to a failure to load the attribute segment for vcn0, triggering a warning and potentially incorrect behavior during cluster allocation.
