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

fs/ntfs3: Enhance sanity check while generating attr_list

ni_create_attr_list uses WARN_ON to catch error cases while generating
attribute list, which only prints out stack trace and may not be enough.
This repalces them with more proper error handling flow.
