{"id":"CVE-2026-98137","summary":"ntfs: treat any nonzero dio zero-range return as an error","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nntfs: treat any nonzero dio zero-range return as an error\n\nntfs_dio_zero_range() returns either 0 or a negative errno from\nblkdev_issue_zeroout(); it never returns a positive value.  The\nzeroing failure check in ntfs_attr_fallocate() therefore never fired,\nso a failed zeroing operation was silently ignored: the loop kept\ngoing, the newly allocated clusters were folded into initialized_size\nand the write could succeed leaving stale on-disk data.\n\nTreat any nonzero return as an error and abort the allocation.","modified":"2026-09-26T03:48:42.747029496Z","published":"2026-09-25T10:36:14.744Z","database_specific":{"osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/98xxx/CVE-2026-98137.json","cna_assigner":"Linux"},"references":[{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/56392b0d5290ff2b05fc673bc07803b8ae4cfd1b"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/607a9478833db656e7ceac8e9e382fa4acfde545"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/98xxx/CVE-2026-98137.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-98137"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","events":[{"introduced":"495e90fa334828d4119061e2726af51d0a0fb4ed"},{"fixed":"56392b0d5290ff2b05fc673bc07803b8ae4cfd1b"},{"fixed":"607a9478833db656e7ceac8e9e382fa4acfde545"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-98137.json"}},{"package":{"name":"Kernel","ecosystem":"Linux"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"7.1.0"},{"fixed":"7.2.7"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-98137.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
