  "details": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nntfs: fix u16 truncation of restart-area length check\n\nntfs_check_restart_area() validates that the $LogFile restart area and\nits trailing log client record array fit within the system page size:\n\n        u16 ra_ofs, ra_len, ca_ofs;\n        ...\n        ra_len = ca_ofs + le16_to_cpu(ra-\u003elog_clients) *\n                        sizeof(struct log_client_record);\n        if (ra_ofs + ra_len \u003e le32_to_cpu(rp-\u003esystem_page_size) || ...)\n                return false;\n\nra_len is u16, but the right-hand side is computed in size_t\n(sizeof(struct log_client_record) == 160). Both ca_ofs and log_clients\ncome straight from the on-disk restart area. With an on-disk\nlog_clients of 410 the product 410 * 160 = 65600; adding ca_ofs and\nstoring into the u16 ra_len truncates modulo 65536 (e.g. ca_ofs 64\ngives ra_len 128), so the \"fits in the page\" check passes even though\nthe client array described by log_clients extends far beyond the page.\n\nntfs_check_log_client_array() then walks the array bounded only by the\non-disk log_clients count:\n\n        cr = ca + idx;\n        if (cr-\u003eprev_client != LOGFILE_NO_CLIENT) ...\n\nFor log_clients 410 it dereferences records up to ca + 409 * 160,\n~64 KiB past the kvzalloc(system_page_size) restart-page buffer -- an\nout-of-bounds read of attacker-controlled extent, reachable when a\ncrafted NTFS image is mounted (load_and_check_logfile() at mount time).\nThis is the in-kernel analogue of CVE-2022-30789, fixed in the ntfs-3g\nuserspace driver but never in this revived classic driver.\n\nCompute the restart-area length in a u32 so the existing bounds check\nrejects an over-large client array instead of being defeated by the\ntruncation. Widen ra_ofs and ca_ofs to u32 as well: both are loaded\nfrom __le16 on-disk fields and every comparison already promotes to\nint/size_t, so this changes no result and keeps the declaration uniform.",
