When index insertion fails, the code removes\nthe just-written reparse data as cleanup but still returns 0, so\nsymlink(2) (and WSL special file creation) reports success while\nno reparse data exists on disk. When there was no previous reparse\ndata (oldsize == 0), the failure was likewise silently ignored.\n\nPropagate the error to the caller.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-09-25T10:36:17.213+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-19T09:14:34.773+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor product","name":"Linux","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n                    \"product\": \"Linux\",\n                    \"vendor\": \"Linux\",\n                    \"defaultStatus\": \"unaffected\",\n                    \"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\",\n                    \"programFiles\": [\n                        \"fs/ntfs/reparse.c\"\n                    ],\n                    \"versions\": [\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"fc053f05ca282a5e760b41f6560ac835c4e28037\",\n                            \"lessThan\": \"c62f446c63398dc7151f413069bf617032cf7a71\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"git\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"fc053f05ca282a5e760b41f6560ac835c4e28037\",\n                            \"lessThan\": \"9692b1b4fc00cf89628bc43f71729ab21f14f8d3\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"git\"\n                        }\n                    ]\n                }"},{"ecosystem":"Vendor product","name":"Linux","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n                    \"product\": \"Linux\",\n                    \"vendor\": \"Linux\",\n                    \"defaultStatus\": \"affected\",\n                    \"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\",\n                    \"programFiles\": [\n                        \"fs/ntfs/reparse.c\"\n                    ],\n                    \"versions\": [\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"7.1\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"0\",\n                            \"lessThan\": \"7.1\",\n                            \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"7.2.7\",\n                            \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"7.2.*\",\n                            \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"7.3\",\n                            \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"*\",\n                            \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"original_commit_for_fix\"\n                        }\n                    ]\n                }"}],"metrics":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c62f446c63398dc7151f413069bf617032cf7a71","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9692b1b4fc00cf89628bc43f71729ab21f14f8d3"],"sourceUrl":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-98141","license":"CVE Program Terms of Use","key":"cve-program:CVE-2026-98141","identifiers":["CVE-2026-98141"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[]}
