  - fs/ntfs3: fix missing run load for vcn0 in attr_data_get_block_locked() When a compressed or sparse
    attribute has its clusters frame-aligned, vcn is rounded down to the frame start using cmask, which can
    result in vcn != vcn0. In this case, vcn and vcn0 may reside in different attribute segments. The code
    already handles the case where vcn is in a different segment by loading its runs before allocation.
    However, it fails to load runs for vcn0 when vcn0 resides in a different segment than vcn. This causes
    run_lookup_entry() to return SPARSE_LCN for vcn0 since its segment was never loaded into the in-memory run
    list, triggering the WARN_ON(1). Fix this by adding a missing check for vcn0 after the existing vcn
    segment check. If vcn0 falls outside the current segment range [svcn, evcn1), find and load the attribute
    segment containing vcn0 before performing the run lookup. The following scenario triggers the bug:
    attr_data_get_block_locked() vcn = vcn0 & cmask <- vcn != vcn0 after frame alignment load runs for vcn
    segment <- vcn0 segment not loaded! attr_allocate_clusters() <- allocation succeeds run_lookup_entry(vcn0)
    <- vcn0 not in run -> SPARSE_LCN WARN_ON(1) <- bug fires here! (CVE-2026-53027)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
