A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's NTFS driver caused failed zeroing operations during file allocation to be silently ignored, potentially leaving stale data on disk. The issue was due to improper error handling in ntfs_dio_zero_range(), which never returns a positive value, but the zeroing failure check did not treat any nonzero return as an error. This flaw was fixed by treating any nonzero return as an error and aborting the allocation.
