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-2025-71309 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-2025-71309/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-71309/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-71309","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-71309/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-71309","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-fq5h-cm7q-5gg6","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-71309"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel NTFS3","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A lock inversion deadlock in the Linux kernel NTFS3 driver allows local attackers to cause a system hang via concurrent file read operations.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"race_condition"},"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-667","name":"Improper Locking"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nfs/ntfs3: fix deadlock in ni_read_folio_cmpr\n\nSyzbot reported a task hung in ni_readpage_cmpr (now ni_read_folio_cmpr).\nThis is caused by a lock inversion deadlock involving the inode mutex\n(ni_lock) and page locks.\n\nScenario:\n1. Task A enters ntfs_read_folio() for page X. It acquires ni_lock.\n2. Task A calls ni_read_folio_cmpr(), which attempts to lock all pages in\n   the compressed frame (including page Y).\n3.
