CVE-2026-46569 is a heap buffer overflow vulnerability in NTFS-3G affecting the ntfs_ib_copy_tail() function. The flaw occurs when tail data from an NTFS index block is copied into a newly allocated block without proper bounds enforcement, allowing memory corruption during processing of malformed or maliciously crafted NTFS filesystem structures. The issue is triggered while parsing specially crafted NTFS images or filesystems and affects the userspace NTFS driver and related tooling that handle such data.
