The NTFS filesystem module of the Linux 2.6.x kernel fails to properly handle corrupted data structures, leading to an exploitable denial of service condition. This issue is similar to that explained in MOKB-05-11-2006.

Eric Sandeen suggests that this is the same bug manifesting in different filesystems.
