CVE-2026-90131CVE-2026-90131

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ntfs: serialize resident iomap reads with mrec_lock ntfs_read_iomap_begin_resident() walks the MFT record through ntfs_attr_lookup() -> ntfs_attr_find() without taking ni->mrec_lock, while ntfs_attr_record_resize(), ntfs_make_room_for_attr() and ntfs_resident_attr_record_add() memmove() the same base_ni->mrec buffer under that lock. map_mft_record() only takes a reference and does not serialize, so the reader can observe torn attribute length and offset fields while a writer is relocating the records. KCSAN reports the race between the mmap read fault path and both link() and unlink(): BUG: KCSAN: data-race in ntfs_attr_find / ntfs_attr_record_resize write to 0xffff888100af1018 of 4 bytes by task 96 on cpu 1: ntfs_attr_record_resize+0xd2/0x130 ntfs_attr_record_rm+0xad/0x530 ntfs_delete+0x224/0x640 ntfs_unlink+0x14d/0x280 vfs_unlink+0x157/0x520 read to 0xffff888100af1018 of 4 bytes by task 95
