{"id":"CVE-2026-90118","aliases":[],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2026-90118","summary":"ntfs: fix off-by-one page overflow in ntfs_decompress()","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nntfs: fix off-by-one page overflow in ntfs_decompress()\n\nThe per-token range check in ntfs_decompress() uses\n\n\tif (cb >= cb_sb_end || dp_addr > dp_sb_end)\n\t\tbreak;\n\nso dp_addr == dp_sb_end falls through to the symbol copy\n`*dp_addr++ = *cb++`, writing one byte past the destination page.  Since\nNTFS_SB_SIZE == PAGE_SIZE the destination is a single page, so the byte\nlands in the adjacent page, and *dest_ofs is left one past the sub-block\nend (the later `*dest_ofs &= ~PAGE_MASK` then yields 1, not 0, so the page\nis never finalized and later sub-blocks keep writing further past it).  A\ncorrupted compressed $DATA attribute thus produces a bounded run of\nout-of-bounds writes when the file is read.\n\nBreak as soon as dp_addr reaches dp_sb_end; a full sub-block still\ncompletes, as its final copy advances dp_addr to exactly dp_sb_end.","published":"2026-09-17T16:06:23.333Z","modified":"2026-09-19T03:47:28.630271290Z","cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":null,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"Linux","name":"Kernel","fixedVersion":"7.2.6"}],"fix":null,"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/98716c9fce21f6c8a9d71e08cf53e7504fa562f4"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b42644e425fed4a5cd6c88372655da5c1b52c666"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/90xxx/CVE-2026-90118.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-90118"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-09-19T03:47:28.630271290Z"}}
