In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/ntfs3: bound page_lcns[] index by the log record
The copy_lcns loop and the redo shorten loop index page_lcns[] at j + i, where i runs up to the log record's lcns_follow. That count is checked only against the record's own length, not the target entry, so check_dp_table() (which validates the entry's lcns_follow) does not cover it: the copy_lcns entry may even be freshly allocated after that check, and find_dp() bounds j but not i. A crafted record thus overflows page_lcns[] of an otherwise valid entry.
Add dp_range_ok() and reject, before each loop, any record whose run does not fit the entry. These are the only two page_lcns[] accesses indexed by the record rather than the entry, so together with the entry validation every access is now bounded.

AnalysisAI
Out-of-bounds array access in the Linux kernel ntfs3 filesystem driver allows an attacker who can cause a crafted NTFS image to be mounted to trigger kernel memory corruption via an overflow of the page_lcns[] array. The copy_lcns and redo-shorten loops index page_lcns[] at j+i where i is bounded by the log record's lcns_follow field rather than the target dirty-page entry's field, and because check_dp_table() validates the entry but not the copy_lcns record, and find_dp() bounds j but not i, a crafted record can overflow the array of an otherwise structurally valid entry. …
