In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/ntfs3: bound NTFS DE view.data off in UpdateRecordData{Root,Allocation}
In do action()'s UpdateRecordDataRoot (fslog.c:3489) and UpdateRecordDataAllocation (fslog.c:3697) cases, the memmove destination is Add2Ptr(e, le16 to cpu(e->view.data off)), where e->view.data off comes from an on-disk NTFS DE inside an INDEX ROOT or INDEX BUFFER. Neither case validates view.data off + dlen against e->size; the existing check if index root / check if alloc index helpers walk the entry chain and validate the entry's offset, but not its internal view fields.
The neighbouring read sites (e.g., fs/ntfs3/index.c when iterating view entries) check view.data off + view.data size <= e->size. Apply the same bound at the two memmove sites.
Reproduced under UML+KASAN on mainline 8d90b09e6741 via pr warn-only probe instrumentation: with view.data off forced to 0xFFFC, the memmove writes 32 bytes past the end of the NTFS DE.
This is similar in shape to Pavitra Jha's 2026-05-02 patch "fs/ntfs3: prevent oob in case UpdateRecordDataRoot" (20260502105008.21827-1-jhapavitra98@gmail.com) which proposes calling ntfs3 bad de range(); that helper does not exist in mainline. This patch uses inline checks.
