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 ...
