CVE-2026-72478
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/ntfs3: add bounds check to run_get_highest_vcn()
run_get_highest_vcn() parses a packed NTFS mapping-pairs buffer without
any length bound, relying solely on a 0x00 terminator to stop. A
crafted $LogFile UpdateMappingPairs record whose embedded attribute
contains mapping-pairs runs without a terminator causes the function to
read past the slab allocation, triggering a KASAN slab-out-of-bounds
read on mount.
The sibling function run_unpack() received an analogous bounds-check in
commit b62567bca474 ('ntfs3: add buffer boundary checks to run_unpack()'),
but run_get_highest_vcn() was missed.
Take a run_buf_size parameter and reject any run header whose payload
would extend past the buffer end, mirroring the pattern used by
run_unpack(). The caller in fslog.c passes the remaining attribute
bytes after the mapping-pairs offset.
