The\nzeroing failure check in ntfs_attr_fallocate() therefore never fired,\nso a failed zeroing operation was silently ignored: the loop kept\ngoing, the newly allocated clusters were folded into initialized_size\nand the write could succeed leaving stale on-disk data.\n\nTreat any nonzero return as an error and abort the allocation.\n\n## Remediation\n\nRefer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.","depth":"sunlit","depthScore":3,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":2.8,"likelihood":0,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
