      <title>CVE-2026-99171 — ntfs3: free the sbi after a grace period</title>
      <link>https://db.gcve.eu/vuln/cve-2026-99171</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;ntfs3: free the sbi after a grace period&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If the &amp;#34;nocase&amp;#34; mount option ntfs3 uses custom hash and dentry compare
functions. Both access ntfs3 superblock private information in rcu
pathwalk. ntfs_put_super() and ntfs3_kill_sb() drop the info without any
rcu delay. A lookup that&amp;#39;s still inside the filesystem when the last
reference to the mount is dropped causes a UAF. With a pathwalk held up
in ntfs_d_hash() while the last reference to the mount goes away:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in ntfs_nls_to_utf16+0x752/0x940
