Linux Kernel NTFS3 Inode Error Handling Vulnerability

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's NTFS3 file system handling has been addressed. The issue arose in the 'mi_enum_attr()' function, where an error could be detected but not immediately acted upon. The vulnerability has been resolved by modifying the function to include an additional parameter, allowing it to mark the inode as bad as soon as an error is identified.

Impact

The vulnerability could lead to improper error handling, allowing inodes to remain in a good state even after an error occurred, potentially causing data integrity issues.
