Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ntfs: grow index root value before reparent header update ntfs_ir_reparent() moves the resident index root entries into an index block and leaves a small root stub containing the child VCN. That root stub can be larger than the existing resident value. For example, an empty root with value_length 48 has an index area of 32 bytes, while the large-index root stub needs index_length and allocated_size of 40 bytes. The current code publishes the larger index.index_length and index.allocated_size before resizing the resident value. If the resize returns -ENOSPC, the recovery path can call ntfs_inode_add_attrlist(), which looks
