{"id":"CVE-2026-98141","summary":"ntfs: propagate reparse index insertion failure","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nntfs: propagate reparse index insertion failure\n\nupdate_reparse_data() ignores the return value of\nset_reparse_index(). When index insertion fails, the code removes\nthe just-written reparse data as cleanup but still returns 0, so\nsymlink(2) (and WSL special file creation) reports success while\nno reparse data exists on disk. When there was no previous reparse\ndata (oldsize == 0), the failure was likewise silently ignored.\n\nPropagate the error to the caller.","modified":"2026-09-27T03:47:39.828816248Z","published":"2026-09-25T10:36:17.213Z","database_specific":{"cna_assigner":"Linux","osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/98xxx/CVE-2026-98141.json"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9692b1b4fc00cf89628bc43f71729ab21f14f8d3"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c62f446c63398dc7151f413069bf617032cf7a71"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/98xxx/CVE-2026-98141.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-98141"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","events":[{"introduced":"fc053f05ca282a5e760b41f6560ac835c4e28037"},{"fixed":"c62f446c63398dc7151f413069bf617032cf7a71"},{"fixed":"9692b1b4fc00cf89628bc43f71729ab21f14f8d3"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-98141.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-2026-98141.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
