Summary
ntfs: reject invalid MFT LCNs from boot sector
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ntfs: reject invalid MFT LCNs from boot sector

The NTFS boot sector stores the MFT and MFTMirr locations as unsigned 64-bit LCNs, but parse_ntfs_boot_sector() decoded them into an s64.

A crafted high-bit value could therefore become negative and pass the existing upper-bound check. The invalid value then propagated into the MFT zone allocator and could result in an out-of-bounds access to lcn_empty_bits_per_page.
