CVE-2026-56136
In NTFS-3G through 2026.2.25, an out-of-bounds read exists in ntfs_ir_nill() in libntfs-3g/index.c that allows an attacker to read possibly confidential information in an ntfs-3g process by crafting a malicious NTFS image.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.12%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
