CVE-2026-72206

Estado: RecibidaCrítica (9.8)—

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ntfs: validate index block header more strictly

Modify ntfs_index_block_inconsisent() to perform stricter validation of INDEX_HEADER geometry in INDX blocks, and update ntfs_lookup_inode_by_name() to use that function to validate INDX blocks.

CVSS

Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).

🎯 Técnicas ATT&CK

Cómo se explota esta vulnerabilidad y qué consigue el atacante, en el lenguaje de MITRE ATT&CK.

Vector CVSS AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N indica acceso remoto sin privilegios ni interacción (T1190). Validación insuficiente en bloques INDX permite corrupción de índices, potencial RCE, DoS o manipulación de datos del kernel.

Inferido por nuestro agente de análisis a partir de la descripción oficial, el vector CVSS y la CWE, y comprobado por un supervisor. Puede contener errores.
