"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nfs/ntfs3: bound DeleteIndexEntryAllocation memmove length\n\nIn do_action()'s DeleteIndexEntryAllocation case, e->size comes\nfrom an on-disk INDEX_BUFFER entry. When e->size makes\ne + e->size point past hdr + hdr->used,\nPtrOffset(e1, Add2Ptr(hdr, used)) returns a negative ptrdiff_t\nthat is silently cast to a quasi-infinite size_t when passed\nto memmove(). The memmove then walks past the destination\nbuffer.\n\nThe sibling DeleteIndexEntryRoot case at fslog.c:3540-3543\nalready carries the corresponding guard:\n\n\tif (PtrOffset(e1, Add2Ptr(hdr, used)) < esize ||\n\t Add2Ptr(e, esize) > Add2Ptr(lrh, rec_len) ||\n\t used + esize > le32_to_cpu(hdr->total)) {\n\t\tgoto dirty_vol;\n\t}\n\nApply the same shape to the allocation-path case. Also reject\nesize == 0: memmove(e, e, ...) is a no-op and leaves\nhdr->used unchanged, hiding a malformed entry from the\nexisting check_index_header() walk.\n\nReproduced under UML+KASAN on mainline 8d90b09e6741 by\nmounting a crafted NTFS image: the unguarded memmove takes a\nlength of 0xffffffffffffff00 and the kernel oopses in\nmemmove+0x81/0x1a0 on the do_action+0x36a2 frame.\n\n[almaz.alexandrovich@paragon-software.com: clang-formatted the changes]"

"value": "AV:L - Reachable only by mounting attacker-controlled NTFS media via the local mount syscall path (path_mount→ntfs_fill_super→ntfs_loadlog_and_replay→log_replay→do_action); ntfs3 parses on-disk $LogFile redo records, not remote network packets.\nAC:L - The attacker fully controls crafted $LogFile DeleteIndexEntryAllocation redo data and INDEX_BUFFER entry sizes on disk, so the PtrOffset underflow to ~0xffffffffffffff00 and subsequent memmove OOB are deterministic with no race or uncontrollable layout preconditions.\nPR:N - No privileges on the target are required; exploitation only needs a malicious NTFS image presented to ntfs3 (USB/loop/NBD block device) that root, udisks2/systemd automount, or an image-handling service mounts, matching the kernel CNA model for crafted-filesystem bugs.\nUI:N - On desktops/kiosks/automotive systems where udisks2 or systemd automounts removable NTFS media, inserting or attaching the crafted image triggers log_replay during mount with no further deliberate victim action beyond routine media handling.\nS:U - The quasi-infinite memmove corrupts kernel heap memory within the host OS security authority during ntfs3 journal replay; this is standard kernel memory corruption, not a VM escape, IOMMU bypass, or other cross-boundary scope change.\nC:H - The unchecked memmove length (~0xffffffffffffff00) performs a massive out-of-bounds read from beyond the kmalloc INDEX_BUFFER scratch buffer, exposing adjacent slab/heap contents and satisfying OOB-read/arbitrary-disclosure guidance even though KASAN reports an oops in memmove.\nI:H - The same memmove writes far past the destination INDEX_BUFFER allocation in kernel heap, yielding a large out-of-bounds write primitive that can corrupt adjacent kernel objects and be leveraged for control-flow hijacking or privilege escalation.\nA:H - Reproduced by mounting a crafted NTFS image under UML+KASAN, the unbounded memmove oopses the kernel in memmove from do_action; such heap corruption reliably threatens panic/oops and full denial of service on mount."
