Hi Eike,

Thanks for digging into this. From a first glance, this bug seems most
similar to CVE-2018-12929.

However, from the logs, the root causes are probably different. The
cause of this bug is specifically in the call to
ntfs_is_extended_system_file [1], but from what I can see this is not
the case for CVE-2018-12929. I don't know enough to comment whether it
needs a CVE, but it has been patched on Linux stable (up to 4.4).

It's worth noting that there's another similar bug that was fixed by
Rustam Kovhaev (+cc) in ntfs_read_locked_inode [2]. This may or may not
have been the issue in CVE-2018-12929.
