Linux · Linux Kernel · CVE-2023-26544
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Linux kernel versions prior to 6.0.8
**Description**
The issue is related to a use-after-free in the `run unpack()` function in the `fs/ntfs3/run.c` component of the Linux kernel. This occurs due to a difference between NTFS sector size and media sector size, potentially allowing an attacker to impact the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information.
**Recommendations**
For Linux kernel versions prior to 6.0.8, update to a version that includes the fix for this issue to prevent exploitation.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the `fs/ntfs3/run.c` component until a patch is available.
