In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/ntfs3: Keep write operations atomic
syzbot reported a NULL pointer dereference in __generic_file_write_iter. [1]
Before the write operation is completed, the user executes ioctl[2] to clear
the compress flag of the file, which causes the is_compressed() judgment to
return 0, further causing the program to enter the wrong process and call the
wrong ops ntfs_aops_cmpr, which triggers the null pointer dereference of
write_begin.
Use inode lock to synchronize ioctl and write to avoid this case.

CVE-2025-37806 [MEDIUM] fs/ntfs3: Keep write operations atomic
fs/ntfs3: Keep write operations atomic
FAQ: Is Azure Linux the only Microsoft product that includes this open-source library and is therefore potentially affected by this vulnerability?
One of the main benefits to our customers who choose to use the Azure Linux distro is the commitment to keep it up to date with the most recent and most secure versions of the open source libraries with which the distro is composed. Microsoft is committed to transparency in this work which is why we began publishing CSAF/VEX in October 2025. See this blog post for more information. If impact to additional products is identified, we will update the CVE to reflect this.
