CVE-2025-24991 is an information disclosure vulnerability in Windows NTFS caused by an out-of-bounds read. Available analysis associates the flaw with NTFS processing in ntfs.sys, specifically the ReadRestartTable() function. By mounting a specially crafted virtual hard disk, an attacker can trigger NTFS to read memory outside the intended bounds and disclose portions of heap memory. Microsoft classified the issue as a local, authorized attack vector, and public reporting indicates it was exploited in the wild at the time of disclosure.

A Windows NTFS information disclosure vulnerability, apparently similar to the malicious-VHD NTFS issues, and reported as exploited in the wild.
An out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the Windows NTFS driver (ntfs.sys) that allows a local attacker to disclose kernel memory by mounting a specially crafted VHD file. The flaw is due to trusting an untrusted offset in the NTFS transaction log, leading to memory disclosure.
Windows NTFS out-of-bounds read vulnerability that can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data and is actively exploited in the wild.
An NTFS out-of-bounds read information disclosure vulnerability exploitable when a user mounts a malicious VHD, with evidence of in-the-wild exploitation.
