How to fix?

Upgrade Chainguard linux-desktop-7.2 to version 7.2.7-r0 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream linux-desktop-7.2 package and not the linux-desktop-7.2 package as distributed by Chainguard. See How to fix? for Chainguard relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ntfs: only count successfully cleared runs when freeing clusters

ntfs_cluster_free_from_rl_nolock() adds a run's length to nr_freed whenever the error bookkeeping condition is false, which includes cases where ntfs_bitmap_clear_run() actually failed - e.g. a second run failing with the same errno as an earlier one, or any failure after a non-ENOMEM error was already recorded. Since a failed ntfs_bitmap_clear_run() rolls back its partial modifications, no bits were cleared for that run, yet its length still inflates vol->free_clusters, corrupting statfs output and the allocator's free space gate.

Only count runs whose bitmap clear succeeded.
