CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

CVSSv4: 6.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read in log_replay() in fs/ntfs3 when replaying a malformed NTFS filesystem restart table. A local user can provide a specially crafted filesystem image to cause a denial of service.

The issue occurs during conversion of DIR_PAGE_ENTRY_32 records into DIR_PAGE_ENTRY records for version 0 restart tables.
