Subject: CVE-2023-52631: fs/ntfs3: Fix an NULL dereference bug
Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/ntfs3: Fix an NULL dereference bug
The issue here is when this is called from ntfs_load_attr_list(). The
"size" comes from le32_to_cpu(attr->res.data_size) so it can't overflow
on a 64bit systems but on 32bit systems the "+ 1023" can overflow and
the result is zero. This means that the kmalloc will succeed by
returning the ZERO_SIZE_PTR and then the memcpy() will crash with an
Oops on the next line.
The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2023-52631 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========
The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
