{"cve":"CVE-2026-89782","nvd":{"published":"2026-09-16T09:17:08.800","modified":"2026-10-19T09:18:21.663","status":"Received","description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nfs/ntfs3: reject restart table growth beyond U16_MAX entries\n\nDuring $LogFile replay, log_replay() indexes the transaction table by the\ntransact_id taken from the log record header.  check_log_rec() only\nverifies that transact_id is non-zero and properly aligned, not its\nmagnitude, so a crafted image can request an arbitrarily large index.\n\nalloc_rsttbl_from_idx() grows the table to cover that index via\nextend_rsttbl(), which passes the new entry count to init_rsttbl():\n\n\trt = init_rsttbl(esize, used + add);\n\nused + add is computed as u32 but init_rsttbl() takes a u16, and the\ncount is stored in struct RESTART_TABLE as a __le16.  When used + add\nexceeds U16_MAX it is truncated, init_rsttbl() allocates a table far\nsmaller than the index requires, and alloc_rsttbl_from_idx() then\ndereferences and writes at the original, untruncated offset -- an\nout-of-bounds access past the allocation, reachable by mounting a\ncrafted NTFS image.\n\n BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in alloc_rsttbl_from_idx (fs/ntfs3/fslog.c:950)\n Read of size 4 at addr ffff8880327ffff8 by task exploit\n  alloc_rsttbl_from_idx (fs/ntfs3/fslog.c:950)\n  log_replay (fs/ntfs3/fslog.c:4562)\n  ntfs_loadlog_and_replay (fs/ntfs3/fsntfs.c:324)\n  ntfs_fill_super (fs/ntfs3/super.c:1393)\n  get_tree_bdev_flags\n  vfs_get_tree\n  path_mount\n  __x64_sys_mount\n\nA restart table is limited to U16_MAX entries by its __le16 count, so a\nlarger growth request is invalid input.
