DescriptionNVD

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

fs/ntfs3: Validate ff offset

This adds sanity checks for ff offset. There is a check on rt->first_free at first, but walking through by ff without any check. If the second ff is a large offset. We may encounter an out-of-bound read.
