Patch Radar priority: High. - Web page: https://patchblox.com/security/cve/CVE-2025-68369 - Priority: High - CVSS: 7.5 (high) - EPSS: 0.0046 - CISA KEV: not listed - Exploited (vendor report): no - Publicly disclosed: no - Published: Dec 24, 2025 ## Description In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ntfs3: init run lock for extend inode After setting the inode mode of $Extend to a regular file, executing the truncate system call will enter the do_truncate() routine, causing the run_lock uninitialized error reported by syzbot. Prior to patch 4e8011ffec79, if the inode mode of $Extend was not set to a regular file, the do_truncate() routine would not be entered. Add the run_lock initialization when loading $Extend. syzbot reported: INFO: trying to register non-static key.
