For evcn values close to U64_MAX (but not equal to it)\nthe right-hand side is still a meaningless near-wrap upper bound, so a\nmalformed on-disk attribute with svcn == 0 and evcn near U64_MAX can pass\nmi_enum_attr() unrejected.\n\nVCN (virtual cluster number) is a cluster index, so any valid evcn is\nbounded by the volume's total cluster count, which ntfs3 holds in\nsbi->used.bitmap.nbits (set up in ntfs_init_from_boot() before any caller\nof mi_enum_attr() runs). Reject evcn values that fall outside this range.\n\nHowever, an empty non-resident attribute (no allocated clusters) is\nlegitimately encoded with svcn == 0 and evcn == -1 (U64_MAX), e.g. via\nattr->nres.evcn = cpu_to_le64((u64)vcn - 1) with vcn == 0. That sentinel\nmust keep passing, so exclude evcn == U64_MAX from the range check. The\nexisting \"svcn > evcn + 1\" test still tolerates the sentinel (\"0 > 0\" is\nfalse) and continues to require svcn == 0 for it, while the range check\nrejects every other out-of-range evcn and thereby also defuses the\n\"evcn + 1\" wraparound.\n\nsvcn does not need its own bound: once evcn < nbits, \"svcn > evcn + 1\"\nimplies svcn <= nbits.\n\n[almaz.alexandrovich@paragon-software.com: fixed evcn check]"

It is parsed by mount(2) → ntfs_fill_super() → ntfs_iget5() → ntfs_read_mft() → ni_enum_attr_ex() → mi_enum_attr(); no network protocol carries those VCN fields.\nAC:L - The attacker sets on-disk evcn ≥ sbi->used.bitmap.nbits or near U64_MAX with svcn==0 so mi_enum_attr()'s u64 test `svcn > evcn + 1` never fails (evcn+1 wraps only at U64_MAX). A single sparse mapping pair of length evcn+1 then makes run_unpack() succeed; there is no race.\nPR:N - Crafting the NTFS image requires no account on the target. ntfs_fs_type has no FS_USERNS_MOUNT, so the CAP_SYS_ADMIN mount is the victim's action and is counted as UI:R rather than attacker privilege.\nUI:R - A victim must mount the attacker-supplied NTFS volume so ntfs_fill_super()/ntfs_read_mft() will run mi_enum_attr() on the crafted evcn; that mount is the required user action.\nS:U - Corruption stays in the host kernel's ntfs3 runs_tree and MFT record buffers; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - Accepted evcn near U32_MAX is passed to run_unpack_ex() and installed as a sparse run of length ~U32_MAX. A later write hits run_add_entry(), which splits that run with wrapping CLST adds (r->vcn+r->len, tail_len=r->len-Tovcn), so lookups return wrong LCNs and can read past the kvmalloc'd runs array.\nI:H - The same wrapping split does `r->len += len - ((r->vcn + r->len) - vcn)` and run_consolidate() joins on wrapped end points; mi_pack_runs() then writes the corrupted mapping pairs into the kmalloc'd MFT record — a kernel-heap write of attacker-influenced run metadata.\nA:H - Walking off the runs array on the wrapped split, or submitting an iomap bio from a wrapped LCN in ntfs_iomap_begin() after attr_data_get_block(), oopses the kernel; attr_set_size_ex() also takes _ntfs_bad_inode() on the inconsistent vcn/evcn state."
