CVE-2026-72470
EUVD-2026-5936915.08.2026, 06:22
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/ntfs3: resize log->one_page_buf when adopting on-disk page size
log_replay() allocates log->one_page_buf using the page size that was
chosen from the host PAGE_SIZE:
log->one_page_buf = kmalloc(log->page_size, GFP_NOFS);
Later, when a restart area is found, the log page size recorded on disk
is adopted:
t32 = le32_to_cpu(log->rst_info.r_page->sys_page_size);
if (log->page_size != t32) {
log->l_size = log->orig_file_size;
log->page_size = norm_file_page(t32, &log->l_size,
t32 == DefaultLogPageSize);
}
If the on-disk page size is larger than the size used for the initial
allocation, log->page_size grows but one_page_buf is left at its
original, smaller size. A subsequent unaligned read_log_page() then
reads log->page_size bytes into the undersized scratch buffer:
page_buf = page_off ? log->one_page_buf : *buffer;
err = ntfs_read_run_nb_ra(ni->mi.sbi, &ni->file.run, page_vbo, page_buf,
log->page_size, NULL, &log->read_ahead);
overflowing the allocation. This is reachable when mounting a dirty
NTFS volume whose log was formatted with a page size larger than the
buffer initially allocated on the mounting host (for example a 64K-log
volume mounted on a host that allocated a 4K scratch buffer).
Grow one_page_buf when the adopted on-disk page size exceeds the size
used for the initial allocation. On krealloc() failure the original
buffer is left intact and freed by the existing error path.EnginsightAwaiting analysis
