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

fs/ntfs3: validate rec->used in journal-replay file record check

checkfilerecord() validates rec->total against the record size but never validates rec->used. The doaction() journal-replay handlers read rec->used from disk and use it to compute memmove lengths:

DeleteAttribute: memmove(attr, ..., used - asize - roff) CreateAttribute: memmove(..., attr, used - roff) changeattrsize: memmove(..., used - PtrOffset(rec, next))

When rec->used is smaller than the offset of a validated attribute, or larger than the record size, these subtractions can underflow allowing us to copy huge amounts of memory in to a 4kb buffer, generally considered a bad idea overall.

This requires a corrupted filesystem, which isn't a threat model the kernel really needs to worry about, but checking for such an obvious out-of-bounds value is good to keep things robust, especially on journal replay

Fix this up by bounding rec->used correctly.

This is much like commit b2bc7c44ed17 ("fs/ntfs3: Fix slab-out-of-bounds read in DeleteIndexEntryRoot") which checked different values in this same switch statement.

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

fs/ntfs3: Initialize new folios before use

KMSAN reports an uninitialized value in longestmatchstd(), invoked from ntfscompresswrite(). When new folios are allocated without being marked uptodate and nireadframe() is skipped because the caller expects the frame to be completely overwritten, some reserved folios may remain only partially filled, leaving the rest memory uninitialized.
