      <title>CVE-2026-98138 — ntfs: do not mark the volume clean in sync_fs when errors were recorded</title>
      <link>https://db.gcve.eu/vuln/cve-2026-98138</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ntfs: do not mark the volume clean in sync_fs when errors were recorded&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ntfs_put_super() and the remount-read-only path both clear the dirty bit
only when NVolErrors(vol) is false. ntfs_sync_fs() clears it
unconditionally, so any sync() on a volume that recorded an error marks
that volume clean. A volume without this set is then seen as not needing
recovery and it does not run one, so whatever went wrong is never repaired.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This change skips resetting the dirty bit when there are volume errors.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Reproduced on a volume whose $MFTMirr does not match $MFT, which sets the
error flag while leaving the mount read-write: after a write and a sync,
the on-disk volume flags read 0x0000 with this driver and 0x0001 with the
guard in place.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
