In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ntfs: check overflow when iterating ATTR_RECORDs
Kernel iterates over ATTR_RECORDs in mft record in ntfs_attr_find().
Because the ATTR_RECORDs are next to each other, kernel can get the next
ATTR_RECORD from end address of current ATTR_RECORD, through current
ATTR_RECORD length field.
The problem is that during iteration, when kernel calculates the end
address of current ATTR_RECORD, kernel may trigger an integer overflow bug
in executing `a = (ATTR_RECORD*)((u8*)a + le32_to_cpu(a->length))`. This
may wrap, leading to a forever iteration on 32bit systems.
This patch solves it by adding some checks on calculating end address
of current ATTR_RECORD during iteration.
