Hi, chenxiaosong

I think changing the check order is able to fix this bug. But we may need
to check whether mft record header is out of bounds, maybe
"if ((u8*)a < (u8*)ctx->mrec || (u8*)a + sizeof(MFT_RECORD) > mrec_end)"

Because we just need to check if this ATTR_RECORD is in valid addresss. As for
situation that a->length is 0, there seems already a check in the loop
(Correct me if I am wrong):

And as for the root cause for use-after-free read, I think it is the
ctx->attr->length to be blamed.

To be more specific, when kernel loads the struct MFT_RECORD from disk
in ntfs_read_inode_mount(),  m's attrs_offset field should less than
m's bytes_allocated field, or it may out of the bounds:

int ntfs_read_inode_mount(struct inode *vi)
{
	...
	MFT_RECORD *m = NULL;
	i = vol->mft_record_size;

	...
	m = (MFT_RECORD*)ntfs_malloc_nofs(i);

	/* Determine the first block of the $MFT/$DATA attribute. */
	block = vol->mft_lcn << vol->cluster_size_bits >>
			sb->s_blocksize_bits;
	nr_blocks = vol->mft_record_size >> sb->s_blocksize_bits;

	...

	/* Load $MFT/$DATA's first mft record. */
	for (i = 0; i < nr_blocks; i++) {
		bh = sb_bread(sb, block++);
		if (!bh) {
			ntfs_error(sb, "Device read failed.");
			goto err_out;
		}
		memcpy((char*)m + (i << sb->s_blocksize_bits), bh->b_data,
				sb->s_blocksize);
		brelse(bh);
	}

	if (le32_to_cpu(m->bytes_allocated) != vol->mft_record_size) {
		ntfs_error(sb, "Incorrect mft record size %u in superblock, should be %u.",
				le32_to_cpu(m->bytes_allocated), vol->mft_record_size);
		goto err_out;
	}

	...

	ctx = ntfs_attr_get_search_ctx(ni, m);
	if (!ctx) {
		err = -ENOMEM;
		goto err_out;
	}

	/* Find the attribute list attribute if present. */
	err = ntfs_attr_lookup(AT_ATTRIBUTE_LIST, NULL, 0, 0, 0, NULL, 0, ctx);

	...
}

So check these fields as follow should fix the root cause for this
use-after-free bug(Correct me if I am wrong). I test this patch locally,
it doesn't trigger any issue.
