CVE-2022-50262: fs/ntfs3: Validate BOOT record_size
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/ntfs3: Validate BOOT recordsize
When the NTFS BOOT recordsize field < 0, it represents a shift value. However, there is no sanity check on the shift result and the sbi->recordbits calculation through blksizebits() assumes the size always > 256, which could lead to NPD while mounting a malformed NTFS image.
