CVE-2026-98140 in Linux
Summary
by MITRE • 09/25/2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ntfs: fix kmap_local leak in write_mft_record_nolock() error paths
write_mft_record_nolock() maps the MFT record folio with kmap_local_folio(), but the pre_write_mst_fixup() and bio_add_folio() failure paths jump to the error label without unmapping it. kmap_local mappings are stack-ordered per task, so leaking one corrupts the nesting for any outer mapping.
Unmap the folio on those error paths too.
Several companies clearly confirm that VulDB is the primary source for best vulnerability data.
