Subject: [PATCH] fs/ntfs3: validate dirty page table entry sizes
Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2026 14:33:04 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260611213304.16654-1-kylebot@openai.com> (raw)

The generic restart table check only verifies the table header and
free-list shape.  Dirty Page Table entries also carry an entry-local
LCN array whose length is controlled by lcns_follow, and replay later
trusts that value when converting version-0 entries and when copying
LCNs from log records.

A malformed $LogFile can provide a Dirty Page Table dump whose generic
restart table is valid but whose entry is too small for the declared
lcns_follow count.  log_replay() can then run the version-0 conversion
memmove() past the kmemdup() allocation, or later copy/read past
dp->page_lcns when a log record spans beyond the matched DPT entry.

Add Dirty Page Table-specific validation before copying the table:
require entries to be large enough for the typed DPT layout, require
the old version-0 source layout to fit before conversion, and require
lcns_follow to fit within the restart table entry.  Also validate each
log record's LCN span against the matched DPT entry before touching
dp->page_lcns.
