From: Alon Zahavi <zahavi.alon@xxxxxxxxx> The bug occours due to a misuse of `attr` variable instead of `attr_b`. `attr` is being initialized as NULL, then being derenfernced as `attr->res.data_size`. This bug causes a crash of the ntfs3 driver itself, If compiled directly to the kernel, it crashes the whole system.
