[PATCH ntfs] fs/ntfs3: fix slab-out-of-bounds write in attr_insert_range()

From: Xiang Mei (Microsoft)

Date: Thu Jul 09 2026 - 18:05:08 EST


When fallocate(FALLOC_FL_INSERT_RANGE) grows a still-resident ntfs3
attribute, attr_insert_range() shifts the inline data using the insert
length 'bytes' as both the destination offset and the copy size:

memmove(data + bytes, data, bytes);

Both are wrong: the shift must start at the insertion point 'vbo' and
move only the data past it (data_size - vbo). When bytes > data_size the
memmove runs off the end of the data_size + bytes buffer and overflows
the adjacent slab object.

Since vbo < data_size is already enforced above, the reworked offsets stay
within the data_size + bytes buffer and cannot under/overflow.

BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in attr_insert_range (fs/ntfs3/attrib.c:2581)
Write of size 512 at addr ffff8880135e8b10 by task exploit/142
