Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
ntfs: check overflow when iterating ATTR_RECORDs<br />
<br />
Kernel iterates over ATTR_RECORDs in mft record in ntfs_attr_find(). <br />
Because the ATTR_RECORDs are next to each other, kernel can get the next<br />
ATTR_RECORD from end address of current ATTR_RECORD, through current<br />
ATTR_RECORD length field.<br />
<br />
The problem is that during iteration, when kernel calculates the end<br />
address of current ATTR_RECORD, kernel may trigger an integer overflow bug<br />
in executing `a = (ATTR_RECORD*)((u8*)a + le32_to_cpu(a->length))`. This<br />
may wrap, leading to a forever iteration on 32bit systems.<br />
<br />
This patch solves it by adding some checks on calculating end address<br />
of current ATTR_RECORD during iteration.
