In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ntfs: avoid stale runlist element dereference in fallocate ntfs_attr_fallocate() allocates holes and delayed allocations inside initialized size by looking up the current runlist element under ni->runlist.lock. The returned struct runlist_element is only a borrowed pointer into ni->runlist.rl. A writer can replace and free that array after the read lock is dropped, so later reads of rl->lcn, rl->length and rl->vcn can touch freed memory. The buggy scenario involves two paths, with each column showing the order within that path: ntfs_attr_fallocate():
- Take ni->runlist.lock for read.
- Get rl from ntfs_attr_find_vcn_nolock().
- Drop ni->runlist.lock.
- Read rl->lcn, rl->length and rl->vcn. mmap page_mkwrite:
- Enter ntfs_filemap_page_mkwrite().
- Reach __ntfs_write_iomap_begin() and ntfs_attr_map_cluster().
- Merge allocation state with ntfs_runlists_merge().
- Reallocate ni->runlist.rl in ntfs_rl_realloc(), freeing the old array. Validation reproduced this kernel report: BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in ntfs_attr_fallocate+0xbb8/0xd00 Call Trace:

Fix this by copying the needed runlist fields while the read lock is still
held and using only those scalar snapshots after unlocking.
After the snapshot, ntfs_attr_map_cluster() can also find that the range
is already mapped and return balloc=false. Only call ntfs_dio_zero_range()
when new clusters were allocated, matching the write iomap path and
preserving the zero-newly-allocated-holes behavior.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's NTFS file system driver. A use-after-free vulnerability exists in the ntfs_attr_fallocate() function, where a runlist element is accessed after its memory has been deallocated by a concurrent operation. A local attacker could exploit this to trigger a system crash, resulting in a denial of service.
