Vulnerability Title
fs/ntfs3: reject restart table growth beyond U16_MAX entries
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/ntfs3: reject restart table growth beyond U16_MAX entries
During $LogFile replay, log_replay() indexes the transaction table by the
transact_id taken from the log record header. check_log_rec() only
verifies that transact_id is non-zero and properly aligned, not its
magnitude, so a crafted image can request an arbitrarily large index.
alloc_rsttbl_from_idx() grows the table to cover that index via
extend_rsttbl(), which passes the new entry count to init_rsttbl():
rt = init_rsttbl(esize, used + add);
used + add is computed as u32 but init_rsttbl() takes a u16, and the
count is stored in struct RESTART_TABLE as a __le16. When used + add
exceeds U16_MAX it is truncated, init_rsttbl() allocates a table far
smaller than the index requires, and alloc_rsttbl_from_idx() then
dereferences and writes at the original, untruncated offset -- an
out-of-bounds access past the allocation, reachable by mounting a
crafted NTFS image.

A restart table is limited to U16_MAX entries by its __le16 count, so a
larger growth request is invalid input. Reject it in extend_rsttbl();
all callers already handle a NULL return.
