Looks like it is improper check order that causes this bug.

The reason is that a->length is 0, it will occur uaf when deref any 
field of ATTR_RECORD.

It seems that changing check order will not fix root cause, if the 
condition "if ((u8*)a < (u8*)ctx->mrec || (u8*)a > mrec_end)" is false, 
uaf will still occur.

Do you have any thoughts on this ?

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.

Apologize for my typing error, it is the ctx->attr should be blamed:

static int ntfs_attr_find(const ATTR_TYPE type, const ntfschar *name,
		const u32 name_len, const IGNORE_CASE_BOOL ic,
		const u8 *val, const u32 val_len, ntfs_attr_search_ctx *ctx)
{
	ATTR_RECORD *a;
	ntfs_volume *vol = ctx->ntfs_ino->vol;
	ntfschar *upcase = vol->upcase;
	u32 upcase_len = vol->upcase_len;

	/*
	 * Iterate over attributes in mft record starting at @ctx->attr, or the
	 * attribute following that, if @ctx->is_first is 'true'.
	 */
	if (ctx->is_first) {
		a = ctx->attr;
		ctx->is_first = false;
	} else
		a = (ATTR_RECORD*)((u8*)ctx->attr +
				le32_to_cpu(ctx->attr->length));
	...
}

The "ctx->attr" is not invalid, then the pointer "a" will probably also
points to an invalid memory, which triggers a use-after-free read.
This also probably explains why the memory state around the buggy address are
all invalid in KASAN, instead of at the bounder between valid memory
and invalid memory

Yet the analysis below is still correct. ctx->attr is assigned with
"((u8*)mrec + le16_to_cpu(mrec->attrs_offset))" in
ntfs_attr_init_search_ctx()

Please prepare a full changelog for the next version?  Describe the
user-visible runtime effects of the bug, describe what the code does
wrong and how the patch repairs it.

I am sorry for that improper email.

I send that email just wants to confirm whether my guess is right by syzbot.
That is not an official patch email.

Thanks for your remind, I will take care next time!

This definitely seems like a bug.  But your code won't build.  Syzbot
must have -Werror turned off?

Btw, this was in the original code, but those casts are ugly.  Ideally
there would be some way to get rid of them.  But otherwise at least
put a space after the u8.  "(u8 *)a < (u8 *)ctx->mrec".

Hi Dan,
Did you mean we should put the variable declares at the beginning of the function?

So maybe I can try to refactor these codes. But I wonder if this can be
done in a seperate bug

You can declare it at the beginning of the block.

The kernel has a strict "one thing per patch rule".  Those rules are
for reviewers and easier backporting.  So the trick is to write the
commit message to persuade the reviewer that the way you've written the
patch is the easiest way to review it.  So here is how I would write the
commit message:

[PATCH] ntfs: fix out of bounds read in ntfs_attr_find()

This code deferences "a" to calculate "name_end" and then it checks to
ensure that "a" is within bounds.  Move the bounds checks earlier and
add some comments to make it more clear what they're doing.  Then
calculate "name_end" and check that.

(Btw, are the wrap around checks really sufficient?  It seems like it
could wrap to something still within the ->mrec buffer but before the
current entry so it would end up in a forever loop or something?)

I am not for sure, but it seems that it is OK before.
As for the forever loop, there is a break when a->length is 0 in the loop,
So I think it probably would not end up in a forever loop?(Correct me if
I am wrong)

Thanks for your suggestion, I will refactor these codes in this way.

Checking for zero is not sufficient because it can wrap on 32 bit
systems.  It needs something like:

			return -ENOENT;
		len = le32_to_cpu(a->length);
		if (!len ||
		    (void *)a + len < (void *)a ||
		    (void *)a + len > mrec_end)
			break;
		if (a->type != type)
			continue;

Sort of ugly, but hopefully it gives the idea of what I'm saying.

Hi, Dan
Do you mean there may be an overflow on 32bit systems?
It seems that it is, so it may end up in a forever loop
as you point out before.

I will try to add an overflow checking helper to fix it.

Sorry for the typing error. I mean refactoring these code
in another seperate patch seems better.
