CVE-2026-72471

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

fs/ntfs3: prevent potential lcn remains uninitialized

The target VCN being sought was not found within runs[0], causing
run_lookup() to return false. This causes run_lookup_entry() to return
false, which in turn results in a len value of 0, and the new parameter
passed to attr_data_get_block() is NULL. Collectively, these factors
ultimately cause attr_data_get_block_locked() to exit prematurely without
initializing lcn, thereby triggering [1].

To prevent [1], the clen check within ni_seek_data_or_hole() has been
moved to occur before the lcn check.
