Title
fs/ntfs3: bound page_lcns[] index by the log record
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fs/ntfs3: bound page_lcns[] index by the log record The copy_lcns loop and the redo shorten loop index page_lcns[] at j + i, where i runs up to the log record's lcns_follow. That count is checked only against the record's own length, not the target entry, so check_dp_table() (which validates the entry's lcns_follow) does not cover it: the copy_lcns entry may even be freshly allocated after that check, and find_dp() bounds j but not i. A crafted record thus overflows page_lcns[] of an otherwise valid entry. Add dp_range_ok() and reject, before each loop, any record whose run does not fit the entry. These are the only two page_lcns[] accesses indexed by the record rather than the entry, so together with the entry validation every access is now bounded.

That count is checked only\\nagainst the record\u0027s own length, not the target entry, so check_dp_table()\\n(which validates the entry\u0027s lcns_follow) does not cover it: the copy_lcns\\nentry may even be freshly allocated after that check, and find_dp() bounds j\\nbut not i. A crafted record thus overflows page_lcns[] of an otherwise valid\\nentry.\\n\\nAdd dp_range_ok() and reject, before each loop, any record whose run does\\nnot fit the entry. These are the only two page_lcns[] accesses indexed by\\nthe record rather than the entry, so together with the entry validation\\nevery access is now bounded.\\n\\n[almaz.alexandrovich@paragon-software.com: original patch contained changes to the problem already handled, applied partly]\"}],\"affected\":[{\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\",\"affectedData\":[{\"vendor\":\"Linux\",\"product\":\"Linux\",\"defaultStatus\":\"unaffected\",\"programFiles\":[\"fs/ntfs3/fslog.c\"],\"repo\":\"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\",\"versions\":[{\"version\":\"b46acd6a6a627d876898e1c84d3f84902264b445\",\"lessThan\":\"31fdd11f75da9823500168cecb07aa45130915a3\",\"versionType\":\"git\",\"status\":\"affected\"},{\"version\":\"b46acd6a6a627d876898e1c84d3f84902264b445\",\"lessThan\":\"bb742d1030864c0fe140666f639428ba4e90b2ca\",\"versionType\":\"git\",\"status\":\"affected\"},{\"version\":\"b46acd6a6a627d876898e1c84d3f84902264b445\",\"lessThan\":\"61ca8cbbf68f77f25b699ed4358bd232f94ed43b\",\"versionType\":\"git\",\"status\":\"affected\"},{\"version\":\"b46acd6a6a627d876898e1c84d3f84902264b445\",\"lessThan\":\"f4c1bc6d7331f344ffcea93c2a37badcbe15baa6\",\"versionType\":\"git\",\"status\":\"affected\"},{\"version\":\"b46acd6a6a627d876898e1c84d3f84902264b445\",\"lessThan\":\"7ccb94901f38a062034b56b43c774050b113758f\",\"versionType\":\"git\",\"status\":\"affected\"},{\"version\":\"b46acd6a6a627d876898e1c84d3f84902264b445\",\"lessThan\":\"1135ebc225996b3ac1a295652b19a0a706737a6c\",\"versionType\":\"git\",\"status\":\"affected\"},{\"version\":\"b46acd6a6a627d876898e1c84d3f84902264b445\",\"lessThan\":\"6f7b9dbdc1b7520206abce0049bdd143eb536e75\",\"versionType\":\"git\",\"status\":\"affected\"}]},{\"vendor\":\"Linux\",\"product\":\"Linux\",\"defaultStatus\":\"affected\",\"programFiles\":[\"fs/ntfs3/fslog.c\"],\"repo\":\"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\",\"versions\":[{\"version\":\"5.15\",\"status\":\"affected\"},{\"version\":\"0\",\"lessThan\":\"5.15\",\"versionType\":\"semver\",\"status\":\"unaffected\"},{\"version\":\"5.15.221\",\"lessThanOrEqual\":\"5.15.*\",\"versionType\":\"semver\",\"status\":\"unaffected\"},{\"version\":\"6.1.188\",\"lessThanOrEqual\":\"6.1.*\",\"versionType\":\"semver\",\"status\":\"unaffected\"},{\"version\":\"6.6.157\",\"lessThanOrEqual\":\"6.6.*\",\"versionType\":\"semver\",\"status\":\"unaffected\"},{\"version\":\"6.12.109\",\"lessThanOrEqual\":\"6.12.*\",\"versionType\":\"semver\",\"status\":\"unaffected\"},{\"version\":\"6.18.50\",\"lessThanOrEqual\":\"6.18.*\",\"versionType\":\"semver\",\"status\":\"unaffected\"},{\"version\":\"7.2.4\",\"lessThanOrEqual\":\"7.2.*\",\"versionType\":\"semver\",\"status\":\"unaffected\"},{\"version\":\"7.3-rc1\",\"lessThanOrEqual\":\"*\",\"versionType\":\"original_commit_for_fix\",\"status\":\"unaffected\"}]}]}],\"metrics\":{\"cvssMetricV31\":[{\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\",\"type\":\"Secondary\",\"cvssData\":{\"version\":\"3.1\",\"vectorString\":\"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H\",\"baseScore\":8.4,\"baseSeverity\":\"HIGH\",\"attackVector\":\"LOCAL\",\"attackComplexity\":\"LOW\",\"privilegesRequired\":\"NONE\",\"userInteraction\":\"NONE\",\"scope\":\"UNCHANGED\",\"confidentialityImpact\":\"HIGH\",\"integrityImpact\":\"HIGH\",\"availabilityImpact\":\"HIGH\"},\"exploitabilityScore\":2.5,\"impactScore\":5.9}]},\"references\":[{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1135ebc225996b3ac1a295652b19a0a706737a6c\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/31fdd11f75da9823500168cecb07aa45130915a3\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/61ca8cbbf68f77f25b699ed4358bd232f94ed43b\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6f7b9dbdc1b7520206abce0049bdd143eb536e75\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7ccb94901f38a062034b56b43c774050b113758f\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/bb742d1030864c0fe140666f639428ba4e90b2ca\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f4c1bc6d7331f344ffcea93c2a37badcbe15baa6\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"}]}}",
