Linux Kernel NTFS3 Integer Overflow Vulnerability on 32-bit Systems

Vulnerability

An integer overflow vulnerability has been identified in the Linux kernel's NTFS3 file system module, specifically on 32-bit systems. The issue arises from the addition of 'off' and 'sizeof(struct NTFS_DE)', which can lead to integer wrapping. This vulnerability has been addressed by using 'size_add()' to prevent the overflow.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to incorrect memory calculations, potentially allowing for buffer overflows or other memory corruption issues.
