{"apiVersion":"1.0","identifier":"CVE-2026-72187","description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ntfs: avoid self-deadlock during inode eviction An attribute-list update performed while allocating clusters can drop the last reference to the temporary attribute inode. Evicting that inode drops its reference to the base inode and can invoke ntfs_drop_big_inode() for the base inode from within the base inode-s own writeback path. If the base inode is unlinked, ntfs_drop_big_inode() calls truncate_setsize(), which waits for the inode-s folio writeback to complete. The same writeback worker is responsible for completing that writeback, so it waits for itself indefinitely. Prevent this self-deadlock by grabbing a reference to the base inode at the beginning of ntfs_writepages() and releasing it at the end of the function. This defers eviction until all bios have been submitted, allowing the wait for folio writeback to complete safely.","publishedAt":"2026-08-15T06:21:37","lastModifiedAt":"2026-08-17T06:18:19","sourceUrl":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-72187","cvssScore":null,"cvssVector":"Pending","epssProbability":0.00189,"riskScore":0,"affectedProduct":"Linux kernel","affectedVersions":"unknown","vulnerabilityType":"Kernel","operatingSystems":[],"links":{"self":"https://www.redsauce.net/api/cves/CVE-2026-72187","webPages":{"es":"https://www.redsauce.net/es/cves/CVE-2026-72187","en":"https://www.redsauce.net/en/cves/CVE-2026-72187","fr":"https://www.redsauce.net/fr/cves/CVE-2026-72187","pt":"https://www.redsauce.net/pt/cves/CVE-2026-72187","de":"https://www.redsauce.net/de/cves/CVE-2026-72187","sk":"https://www.redsauce.net/sk/cves/CVE-2026-72187","el":"https://www.redsauce.net/el/cves/CVE-2026-72187"},"source":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-72187"}}
