Vulnerability Title
fs/ntfs3: validate ef->size covers the record's name and value
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/ntfs3: validate ef->size covers the record's name and value
When an EA record has a non-zero ef->size, ntfs_read_ea() only checks
that the record fits in the remaining buffer (ea_size > bytes), not that
ef->size is large enough to hold the record's own name_len + 1 + elength.
A crafted image can pass validation with, e.g., ef->size = 24 but
elength = 0xffff. ntfs_get_ea() then trusts elength and copies it out of
the undersized record, reading past the kmalloc(info->size) allocation
and leaking heap memory to userspace via getxattr():
BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in ntfs_get_ea (fs/ntfs3/xattr.c:302)
Read of size 65535 at addr ffff888100794550 by task exploit

path_getxattrat (fs/xattr.c:868)

The buggy address is located 80 bytes inside of
allocated 84-byte region in cache kmalloc-96
Compute the size the record needs and require ef->size to cover it.
