[PATCH 6.1.y 0/4] fs/ntfs3: backport slab-out-of-bounds fix (CVE-2026-90048)

From: Nikita Nagornyi

Date: Thu Oct 01 2026 - 07:52:29 EST


This series backports the fix for a slab-out-of-bounds write in the ntfs3
driver (CVE-2026-90048, an Important / CVSS 7.8 issue) to 6.1.y, together
with its stable dependency chain.

Four commits do not cherry-pick cleanly onto 6.1.y, so each carries a comment,
where adapted. Applied in order:

a8f659ce14f8 ("fs/ntfs3: Add more checks in mi_enum_attr (part 2)")
- dependency
2afd4d267e6d ("fs/ntfs3: Mark inode as bad as soon as error detected in
mi_enum_attr()")
- dependency; introduces the struct ntfs_inode *ni parameter threaded
through mi_enum_attr()/mi_find_attr()/mi_insert_attr()/mi_new_attt_id()
5f33da04e6ce ("fs/ntfs3: fix KMSAN uninit-value in ni_create_attr_list")
- dependency
7c4841e2a627 ("fs/ntfs3: fix slab-out-of-bounds write in
ni_create_attr_list()")
- the fix

Built and boot-tested on x86_64 and aarch64. Tested on Amazon EC2 using our
internal test suite, including xfstests, kselftest, LTP; passed with no regressions.
