Aug 15 ENRICHED — CVE-2022-50336 (Linux). Received CVSS 5.5 and CPE data from NVD.
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/ntfs3: Add null pointer check to attr_load_runs_vcn
Some metadata files are handled before MFT. This adds a null pointer
check for some corner cases that could lead to NPD while reading these
metadata files for a malformed NTFS image.
