In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/ntfs3: fix out-of-bounds read in read_log_rec_buf()
read_log_rec_buf() copies a log record into a caller buffer starting at
u32 off = lsn_to_page_off(log, lsn) + log->record_header_len;
log->record_header_len (and log->data_off, used for the following pages)
comes verbatim from the on-disk restart area and is only checked for
8-byte alignment in is_rst_area_valid(), so off can exceed
log->page_size. "tail = log->page_size - off" then underflows and
memcpy() reads past the page_size-sized buffer returned by
read_log_page(), spilling adjacent slab memory into the replay buffer.
This is reachable by mounting a crafted NTFS image:
BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in read_log_rec_buf+0x216/0x580
Read of size 64 at addr ffff88800a877ff8 by task exploit/127

The buggy address is located 4088 bytes to the right of
the 4096-byte region [ffff88800a876000, ffff88800a877000)
Reject an in-page offset outside the current page before the copy.
