It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-90133 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-2026-90133/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-90133/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-90133","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-90133/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-90133","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2026-90133","GHSA-jf9f-9v3q-f4c9","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-90133"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel NTFS","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A heap out-of-bounds write in the Linux kernel NTFS driver allows attackers to potentially execute code or escalate privileges via a crafted filesystem image.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/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: Fix index_root heap OOB write in ntfs_ir_to_ib()\n\nntfs_ir_to_ib copies all entries from index_root into a freshly allocated\nindex_block_size-byte buffer without verifying that the entries fit in the\navailable space. The entries in index_root may be larger than the usable\nentry space in the index block.\n\nThis can cause OOB writes past the end of the allocation.\n\nThe validator ntfs_index_root_inconsistent() checks that entries are\nself-consistent within the IR value, but never cross-checks them against\nindex_block_size. There is no bounds check in ntfs_ir_to_ib() before the\nmemcpy.\n\nFixing this at the sink in ntfs_ir_to_ib() since\nntfs_index_root_inconsistent() validates the logical consistency of\nindex_root as a structure and a root with large entries is a structurally\nvalid root. The bug is a size conflict of ntfs_ir_to_ib().\nAlso, the validator is called once per inode load in\nntfs_read_locked_inode() while ntfs_ir_to_ib() is only called during a\nreparent, a check there adds no overhead to the common path.\nMoreover, even a future call path that bypasses the validator would still\nbe protected.\n\nWith NULL as first parameter of ntfs_error(), the volume error flag is\nnever set by this call, so the device name will be absent from the error\nmessage. In any case, that the caller, ntfs_ir_reparent(), prints an error\nmessage that includes the device name on NULL returns.\nI think this is the best solution available without adding\n'struct super_block *sb' as a parameter to ntfs_ir_to_ib().\n\nThis heap out-of-bounds write is triggered by a crafted filesystem image,\nwhich is not in the kernel threat model, anyway, fixing memory errors would\nbe nice to keep  things secure.","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: Fix index_root heap OOB write in ntfs_ir_to_ib()","id":"CVE-2026-90133","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"ntfs: fix kmap_local_page() usage in compress","id":"CVE-2026-90134"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"ntfs: reject unprivileged writes to reserved $LX* xattrs","id":"CVE-2026-90132"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2026-09-17","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":"2026-10-19","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A heap out-of-bounds write in the Linux kernel NTFS driver allows attackers to potentially execute code or escalate privileges via a crafted filesystem image.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-90133/"}
