That root<br \/>\nstub can be larger than the existing resident value. For example, an<br \/>\nempty root with value_length 48 has an index area of 32 bytes, while the<br \/>\nlarge-index root stub needs index_length and allocated_size of 40 bytes.<\/p>\n<p>The current code publishes the larger index.index_length and<br \/>\nindex.allocated_size before resizing the resident value. If the resize<br \/>\nreturns -ENOSPC, the recovery path can call ntfs_inode_add_attrlist(),<br \/>\nwhich looks attributes up again while the root header says<br \/>\nallocated_size 40 but the resident value still only provides 32 bytes of<br \/>\nindex area. Lookup-time $INDEX_ROOT validation then correctly rejects<br \/>\nthat transient layout as corrupt.<\/p>\n<p>This reproduces as a generic\/013 failure under qemu. In the failing run,<br \/>\nthe transient root had value_len=48, index_size=32, index_length=40, and<br \/>\nallocated_size=40, and ntfsprogs-plus ntfsck reported &#8220;Corrupt index<br \/>\nroot in MFT record 1177&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>When the root stub grows, resize the resident value before publishing the<br \/>\nlarger root header. If the resize fails, the old root remains valid for<br \/>\nrecovery lookups. Keep the existing header-before-resize ordering for<br \/>\nshrink or same-size cases so the resident value never temporarily<br \/>\nexposes an allocated_size beyond its bounds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<\/p>\n<p>ntfs: grow index root value before reparent header update<\/p>\n<p>ntfs_ir_reparent() moves the resident index root entries into an index<br \/>\nb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","meta":[],"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6841","vuln","type-vuln","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.54iter.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/vuln\/6841","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.54iter.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/vuln"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.54iter.cn\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/vuln"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.54iter.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6841"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.54iter.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6841"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.54iter.cn\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6841"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
