In do_action()'s UpdateRecordDataRoot (fslog.c:3489) and
UpdateRecordDataAllocation (fslog.c:3697) cases, the memmove
destination is `Add2Ptr(e, le16_to_cpu(e->view.data_off))`,
where e->view.data_off comes from an on-disk NTFS_DE inside
an INDEX_ROOT or INDEX_BUFFER. Neither case validates
view.data_off + dlen against e->size; the existing
check_if_index_root / check_if_alloc_index helpers walk the
entry chain and validate the entry's offset, but not its
internal view fields.
The neighbouring read sites (e.g., fs/ntfs3/index.c when
iterating view entries) check view.data_off + view.data_size
<= e->size. Apply the same bound at the two memmove sites.
Reproduced under UML+KASAN on mainline
8d90b09e6741 via
pr_warn-only probe instrumentation: with view.data_off forced
to 0xFFFC, the memmove writes 32 bytes past the end of the
NTFS_DE.
This is similar in shape to Pavitra Jha's 2026-05-02 patch
"fs/ntfs3: prevent oob in case UpdateRecordDataRoot"
(<
20260502105008.21827-1-jhapavitra98@gmail.com>) which
proposes calling ntfs3_bad_de_range(); that helper does not
exist in mainline. This patch uses inline checks.
