Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

fs/ntfs3: Add null pointer check to attrloadruns_vcn

Some metadata files are handled before MFT. This adds a null pointer check for some corner cases that could lead to NPD while reading these metadata files for a malformed NTFS image.
