{
"lang": "en",
"value": "AV:L - The vulnerable parser only processes MFT records read from a mounted NTFS block device, reached via mount(2) and subsequent local filesystem operations, with no network-facing path. Attack Vector is therefore Local rather than Physical, since the attacker supplies the image data and does not need to touch the hardware themselves.\nAC:L - The attacker fully controls the on-disk `alloc_size` field in the crafted image, so the oversized-allocation path is triggered deterministically at mount time with no race, timing, or memory-layout dependency (syzbot has a reproducer). No conditions lie outside the attacker\u0027s control.\nPR:N - The attacker needs no account or privileges on the target system \u2014 they only need to hand over a malicious NTFS image or removable device, which is then mounted by an administrator or automatically by a desktop automounter such as udisks2. All parsing happens before any attacker credential is involved.\nUI:R - Some action on the victim\u0027s side is required to bring the crafted volume into the kernel \u2014 mounting the image, inserting the removable device, or opening a file on such a volume. The bug cannot fire without that step.\nS:U - The corruption and resource exhaustion are confined to the kernel of the machine performing the mount; no VM, IOMMU, or other security-authority boundary is crossed. This is a standard in-kernel filesystem parsing flaw.\nC:H - The unvalidated 64-bit `alloc_size` is truncated into 32-bit `CLST` bounds used as range guards in `attr_data_get_block()`, `attr_collapse_range()` and `attr_punch_hole()`, and inflates `sbi-\u003emft.bitmap.nbits`, so attacker-chosen values defeat the bounds checks that keep cluster/MFT indexing in range and can expose kernel memory and out-of-range on-disk metadata.\nI:H - The same 64-bit-to-32-bit truncation and inflated MFT bitmap bounds let an attacker steer writes and MFT-extension arithmetic (`(u64)new_mft_total \u003c\u003c record_bits`) outside the ranges the driver believes are valid, giving out-of-bounds indexing and filesystem-metadata corruption on a mounted read-write volume.\nA:H - The reported crash is a `WARN_ON_ONCE` splat from `kvmalloc_array()` in `wnd_init()` for an over-INT_MAX allocation, which is an immediate kernel panic on systems configured with `panic_on_warn`; tuned values instead force multi-hundred-megabyte to gigabyte kernel allocations and abort the mount, a reliable denial of service."

Drag nodes to arrange them. Double-click a related vulnerability to open it, or a source to visit its link. The Physics button on the left tunes the layout and the simulation; the legend at the bottom left hides or shows nodes by kind and by sighting type.
Experimental. This forecast is provided for visualization only and may change without notice. Do not use it for operational decisions.
Forecast uses a logistic model when the trend is rising, or an exponential decay model when the trend is falling. Fitted via linearized least squares.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
