Subject: [PATCH 2/4] blkid: probe_ntfs: validate on-disk attribute size/length
Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2026 16:02:46 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260924210421.3631790-3-sandeen@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260924210421.3631790-1-sandeen@redhat.com>

From: Eric Sandeen <esandeen@redhat.com>

Ensure that the attribute length itself is valid, and that it does not
extend past the mft_record_size, which would result in OOB reads past
the mft buffer.

For tidiness, move attr_off advance to end of the loop.
