In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

fs/ntfs3: bound copy_lcns dp->page_lcns[] index in analysis pass

In log_replay()'s analysis pass, after find_dp() returns a
valid DIR_PAGE_ENTRY for the (target_attr, target_vcn) tuple,
the copy_lcns block walks lrh->lcns_follow further entries:

t16 = le16_to_cpu(lrh->lcns_follow);
for (i = 0; i < t16; i++) {
size_t j = (size_t)(le64_to_cpu(lrh->target_vcn) -
le64_to_cpu(dp->vcn));
dp->page_lcns[j + i] = lrh->page_lcns[i];
}

find_dp() only validates that target_vcn falls within
[dp->vcn, dp->vcn + dp->lcns_follow), i.e., that the FIRST
cluster is covered. The walk through the further entries is
not bounded against dp->lcns_follow. For a malformed LRH
where target_vcn = dp->vcn + dp->lcns_follow - 1 and
lrh->lcns_follow > 1, the i > 0 writes overflow the dp's
allocated page_lcns[] array.

Add the missing j + lrh->lcns_follow <= dp->lcns_follow guard.

Reproduced under UML+KASAN on mainline 8d90b09e6741 as a
slab-out-of-bounds write of size 8 from log_replay+0x68d4 on
the mount path.

This is distinct from Pavitra Jha's 2026-05-02 patch
('fs/ntfs3: validate lcns_follow in log_replay conversion',
<[email protected]>) which
addresses the separate version-0 dirty-page-table conversion
path's memmove(&dp->vcn, ...) call. The two fixes are
complementary; both should land.
