Message-ID: <2025122418-CVE-2023-54125-2085@gregkh> Date: Wed, 24 Dec 2025 14:07:22 +0100 From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org> To: linux-cve-announce@...r.kernel.org Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...nel.org> Subject: CVE-2023-54125: fs/ntfs3: Return error for inconsistent extended attributes From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...nel.org> Description =========== In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fs/ntfs3: Return error for inconsistent extended attributes ntfs_read_ea is called when we want to read extended attributes. There are some sanity checks for the validity of the EAs. However, it fails to return a proper error code for the inconsistent attributes, which might lead to unpredicted memory accesses after return.

Affected files ============== The file(s) affected by this issue are: fs/ntfs3/xattr.c Mitigation ========== The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this issue can be found at these commits: https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1474098b590a426d90f27bb992f17c326e0b60c1 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c9db0ff04649aa0b45f497183c957fe260f229f6
