An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-72207 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux. 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-2026-72207/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-72207/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-72207","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-72207/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-72207","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2026-72207","GHSA-vqw4-mmgx-m8xp","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-72207"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel NTFS","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A flaw in the Linux kernel NTFS driver causes filesystem corruption when resizing zero-byte attributes, leading to denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nntfs: not change 0-byte $DATA attribute to non-resident\n\nWhen ntfs_resident_attr_resize() cannot grow a resident attribute in\nplace, it retries after converting other resident attributes to\nnon-resident to free space in the MFT recrord.\n\nDo not select zero-length resident $DATA attributes for this conversion.\nfsck treats 0-byte non-resident $DATA attribute as corruptions.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"ntfs: not change 0-byte $DATA attribute to non-resident","id":"CVE-2026-72207","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"ntfs: add bounds check before accessing EA entries","id":"CVE-2026-72208"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"ntfs: validate index block header more strictly","id":"CVE-2026-72206"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2026-08-15","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-18","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A flaw in the Linux kernel NTFS driver causes filesystem corruption when resizing zero-byte attributes, leading to denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-72207/"}
