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.
