Summary

A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's NTFS filesystem due to missing synchronization of volume label accesses. A race condition between setting and reading the label can lead to a use-after-free condition.

Risk Assessment

An attacker with local system access could exploit this vulnerability to gain unauthorized access to kernel memory, potentially leading to privilege escalation or system instability.

Recommendation

Immediately update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that serializes access to the NTFS volume label.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ntfs: serialize volume label accesses Protect vol->volume_label with a mutex and snaphost the label before copy_to_user. This prevent a use-after-free when FS_IOC_SETFSLABEL replaces the vol->volume_label and FS_IOC_GETTSLABEL reads it concurrently.
