------------------------------------------------------ From: Desmond Cheong Zhi Xi desmondcheongzx@gmail.com Subject: ntfs: fix validity check for file name attribute
When checking the file name attribute, we want to ensure that it fits within the bounds of ATTR_RECORD. To do this, we should check that (attr record + file name offset + file name length) < (attr record + attr record length).
However, the original check did not include the file name offset in the calculation. This means that corrupted on-disk metadata might not caught by the incorrect file name check, and lead to an invalid memory access.
An example can be seen in the crash report of a memory corruption error found by Syzbot: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=a1a1e379b225812688566745c3e2f7242bffc24...
Adding the file name offset to the validity check fixes this error and passes the Syzbot reproducer test.
