AI-suggested
A fix has been implemented in the Linux kernel to address this vulnerability by adjusting the order of operations in the NTFS attribute record resizing logic. Users should apply the updated Linux kernel version containing this fix once available. No other mitigation actions are specified.
Description
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's NTFS implementation involves improper handling of attribute record resizing. Specifically, the attribute payload is moved after shrinking its record, causing memory corruption that leads to malformed mapping pairs arrays. This issue has been resolved by changing the order of operations to move the payload before shrinking the record.
