## Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  fs/ntfs3: fix out-of-bounds read of INDEX_ROOT in reparse/objid init  ntfs_reparse_init() and ntfs_objid_init() parse the index root of the $Extend/$Reparse and $Extend/$ObjId metafiles (the INDEX_ROOT attributes named $R and $O). They read its type and rule fields through resident_data(), which does not check that the resident attribute is large enough to hold them.  mi_enum_attr() accepts a resident attribute with data_off == asize and data_size == 0. For such an attribute placed last in its MFT record, resident_data() returns a pointer to the end of the record_size buffer, so reading root->type / root->rule reads past the allocation.  Use resident_data_ex(attr, sizeof(struct INDEX_ROOT)) and bail out when it returns NULL, as ntfs_security_init() already does for $SDH / $SII.  The attribute is only parsed while mounting a crafted image, so this needs CAP_SYS_ADMIN.   BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in ntfs_reparse_init (fs/ntfs3/fsntfs.c:2306)  Read of size 4 at addr ffff88801219dc00 by task mount   ntfs_reparse_init (fs/ntfs3/fsntfs.c:2306)   ntfs_fill_super (fs/ntfs3/super.c:1604)   get_tree_bdev_flags (fs/super.c:1703)   vfs_get_tree (fs/super.c:1758)   path_mount (fs/namespace.c:4131)   __x64_sys_mount (fs/namespace.c:4360)
