DescriptionCVE.org

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

fs/ntfs3: validate Dirty Page Table capacity in log_replay copy_lcns

In the analysis pass of $LogFile journal replay, log_replay() copies LCNs from each action log record into an existing Dirty Page Table (DPT) entry without bounding the destination index. A crafted NTFS image with DPT entry lcns_follow=1 and an action log record with lcns_follow=2 produces a kernel slab out-of-bounds write at mount time:

BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in log_replay+0x654c/0xdb60 Write of size 8 at addr ffff8880095e1040 by task mount

Two attacker-controlled fields can drive j+i past the allocated page_lcns[] array:

  1. dp->lcns_follow (capacity) can be smaller than lrh->lcns_follow.
  2. lrh->target_vcn may be smaller than dp->vcn, making the u64

subtraction wrap to a huge size_t.

Validate target VCN delta and per-record LCN count against the DPT entry capacity, bail via the existing out: cleanup label with -EINVAL.

This mirrors the bounds-check pattern added in commit b2bc7c44ed17 ("fs/ntfs3: Fix slab-out-of-bounds read in DeleteIndexEntryRoot") and commit 0ca0485e4b2e ("fs/ntfs3: validate rec->used in journal-replay file record check").

AnalysisAI

Heap-based out-of-bounds write in the Linux kernel's ntfs3 filesystem driver during journal replay allows local attackers to achieve kernel code execution by mounting a malicious NTFS image. The vulnerability exists because log_replay() does not validate Dirty Page Table capacity against attacker-controlled fields, leading to a slab corruption. No active exploitation or public exploit code has been identified, and the attack requires user interaction to mount a crafted filesystem.
