  "details" : [ "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\nntfs3: fix circular locking dependency in run_unpack_ex\nSyzbot reported a circular locking dependency between wnd->rw_lock\n(sbi->used.bitmap) and ni->file.run_lock.\nThe deadlock scenario:\n1. ntfs_extend_mft() takes ni->file.run_lock then wnd->rw_lock.\n2. run_unpack_ex() takes wnd->rw_lock then tries to acquire\nni->file.run_lock inside ntfs_refresh_zone().\nThis creates an AB-BA deadlock.\nFix this by using down_read_trylock() instead of down_read() when\nacquiring run_lock in run_unpack_ex(). If the lock is contended,\nskip ntfs_refresh_zone() - the MFT zone will be refreshed on the\nnext MFT operation. This breaks the circular dependency since we\nnever block waiting for run_lock while holding wnd->rw_lock.", "A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ntfs3 component. This vulnerability involves a circular locking dependency, also known as an AB-BA deadlock, which can occur when the system attempts to acquire two specific locks in a conflicting order. This issue can cause the system to become unresponsive, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS)." ],
