[PATCH v2 2/3] ntfs: fix out-of-bounds read in ntfs_attr_find()

From: Hawkins Jiawei
Date: Wed Aug 31 2022 - 12:12:34 EST


Kernel will iterates over ATTR_RECORDs in mft record in ntfs_attr_find().
To ensure access on these ATTR_RECORDs are within bounds, kernel will
do some checking during iteration.

The problem is that during checking whether ATTR_RECORD's name is within
bounds, kernel will dereferences the ATTR_RECORD name_offset field,
before checking this ATTR_RECORD strcture is within bounds. This problem
may result out-of-bounds read in ntfs_attr_find(), reported by
Syzkaller:

This patch solves it by moving the ATTR_RECORD strcture's bounds
checking earlier, then checking whether ATTR_RECORD's name
is within bounds. What's more, this patch also add some comments
to improve its maintainability.
