Infinite Loop in Linux Kernel NTFS3 Filesystem
Publication date: 2026-05-27

Description
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/ntfs3: prevent infinite loops caused by the next valid being the same
When processing valid within the range [valid : pos), if valid cannot
be retrieved correctly, for example, if the retrieved valid value is
always the same, this can trigger a potential infinite loop, similar
to the hung problem reported by syzbot [1].
Adding a check for the valid value within the loop body, and terminating
the loop and returning -EINVAL if the value is the same as the current
value, can prevent this.

INFO: task syz.4.21:6056 blocked for more than 143 seconds.
