Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/ntfs3: validate dirty page table on log replay
Each DIR_PAGE_ENTRY ends in a page_lcns[] array whose length is the on-disk
lcns_follow field. check_rstbl() validates the table bookkeeping but never
checks that this array fits in the entry, so a crafted lcns_follow lets the
v0->v1 conversion memmove and later replay passes run off the entry.
Add check_dp_table() to reject, right after check_rstbl(), any entry larger
than its size claims via struct_size() (the same expression used to allocate
these entries, so the check is overflow-safe by construction). All consumers
can then trust lcns_follow as the real capacity. This covers every
page_lcns[] access whose index is bounded by the entry itself (the
conversion memmove, the HotFix store via find_dp(), and the self-bounded
scan loops). Accesses whose index comes from the log record need a separate
bound and are handled in a follow-up patch.
