Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ntfs: serialize resident iomap reads with mrec_lock ntfs_read_iomap_begin_resident() walks the MFT record through ntfs_attr_lookup() -> ntfs_attr_find() without taking ni->mrec_lock, while ntfs_attr_record_resize(), ntfs_make_room_for_attr() and ntfs_resident_attr_record_add() memmove() the same base_ni->mrec buffer under that lock. map_mft_record() only takes a reference and does not serialize, so the reader can observe torn
