Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
CVE-2026-90200 affects the Linux kernel's fs/ntfs3 driver, which mounts NTFS volumes. A integer overflow in the MFT cluster number check during boot-sector validation could let a malformed boot sector pass validation. The source describes the practical effect as mount failures rather than a more serious outcome. Affected kernels are listed by commit ranges and by version; upgrade to a fixed stable release from the affected branch.
