It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-71267 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux kernel. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-71267/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-71267/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-71267","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-71267/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-71267","record":{"aliases":["AZL-79992","BELL-CVE-2025-71267","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-71267","GHSA-j72w-3754-92gg","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2025-71267","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-13-CVE-2025-71267","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2025-71267","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2025-71267","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-71267"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A malformed NTFS image causes an infinite loop in the Linux kernel ntfs3 driver, leading to a denial of service during mount operations.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-835","name":"Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nfs: ntfs3: fix infinite loop triggered by zero-sized ATTR_LIST\n\nWe found an infinite loop bug in the ntfs3 file system that can lead to a\nDenial-of-Service (DoS) condition.\n\nA malformed NTFS image can cause an infinite loop when an ATTR_LIST attribute\nindicates a zero data size while the driver allocates memory for it.\n\nWhen ntfs_load_attr_list() processes a resident ATTR_LIST with data_size set\nto zero, it still allocates memory because of al_aligned(0).
