ntfs3 in the Linux kernel through 6.8.0 allows a physically proximate attacker to read kernel memory by mounting a filesystem (e.g., if a Linux distribution is configured to allow unprivileged mounts of removable media) and then leveraging local access to trigger an out-of-bounds read. A length value can be larger than the amount of memory allocated. NOTE: the supplier's perspective is that there is no vulnerability when an attack requires an attacker-modified filesystem image.

CVE-2024-36898 [HIGH] Linux kernel vulnerabilities
Title: Linux kernel vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.
Maxim Suhanov discovered that the NTFS file system implementation in the
Linux kernel did not properly validate file name length in certain
situations, leading to an out-of-bounds read. An attacker could use this to
construct a malicious NTFS image that, when mounted and operated on, could
expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2023-45896)
It was discovered that some AMD processors did not properly clear data in
the floating point divider unit during speculative execution. A local
attacker could use this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2025-54505)

CVE-2023-45896 [HIGH] CWE-125 kernel: ntfs3: kernel memory read by mounting a filesystem
kernel: ntfs3: kernel memory read by mounting a filesystem
ntfs3 in the Linux kernel through 6.8.0 allows a physically proximate attacker to read kernel memory by mounting a filesystem (e.g., if a Linux distribution is configured to allow unprivileged mounts of removable media) and then leveraging local access to trigger an out-of-bounds read. A length value can be larger than the amount of memory allocated. NOTE: the supplier's perspective is that there is no vulnerability when an attack requires an attacker-modified filesystem image.
Statement: This CVE is disputed. Nevertheless, Red Hat is not affected since NTFS3 is not built/compiled in RHEL.
