Subject: [SECURITY PATCH 2/6] fs/ntfs: Fix an OOB read when reading data from the resident $DATA attribute
Date: Tue, 3 Oct 2023 19:12:24 +0200

From: Maxim Suhanov <dfirblog@gmail.com>

When reading a file containing resident data, i.e., the file data is stored in
the $DATA attribute within the NTFS file record, not in external clusters,
there are no checks that this resident data actually fits the corresponding
file record segment.

When parsing a specially-crafted file system image, the current NTFS code will
read the file data from an arbitrary, attacker-chosen memory offset and of
arbitrary, attacker-chosen length.

This allows an attacker to display arbitrary chunks of memory, which could
contain sensitive information like password hashes or even plain-text,
obfuscated passwords from BS EFI variables.

This fix implements a check to ensure that resident data is read from the
corresponding file record segment only.

Fixes: CVE-2023-4693
