Compute the packed size unconditionally and require it to fit in the entry. Hoist the "bytes < offsetof(struct EA_FULL, name)" test above the ef->size branch as well: name_len and elength were being read there without it, which is itself a small over-read of the kmalloc'd buffer when fewer than 8 bytes are left. The old "bytes < sizeof(ef->size)" test is subsumed by it. # mkntfs image; create /mnt/ntfs/poc with user.ntfs6 set, then rewrite # that EA_FULL's elength from 0xf to 0xff00 on the raw device mount -t ntfs3 -o ro /dev/vda /mnt/ntfs getxattr("/mnt/ntfs/poc", "user.ntfs6", buf, 128 * 1024); BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in ntfs_get_ea+0x294/0x3e0 Read of size 65280 at addr ffff0000cca53acf by task xattr_probe/142 __asan_memcpy+0x3c/0xa0 ntfs_get_ea+0x294/0x3e0 ntfs_getxattr+0x284/0x318 __vfs_getxattr+0x104/0x160 vfs_getxattr+0x1b4/0x1e0 do_getxattr+0xcc/0x230 path_getxattrat+0x184/0x270 __arm64_sys_getxattr+0x64/0x80 Allocated by task 142: __kmalloc_noprof+0x294/0x668 ntfs_read_ea+0x1e4/0x420 ntfs_get_ea+0x2c8/0x3e0 The buggy address belongs to the object at ffff0000cca53a80 which belongs to the cache kmalloc-96 of size 96 The object being over-read is the one ntfs_read_ea() just allocated, and it is 96 bytes. Entries written by ntfs3 and by Windows set size to the aligned packed size, so the new test does not reject anything a working filesystem produces.
