In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ntfs: avoid stale runlist element dereference in fallocate

ntfs_attr_fallocate() allocates holes and delayed allocations inside
initialized size by looking up the current runlist element under
ni->runlist.lock. The returned struct runlist_element is only a borrowed
pointer into ni->runlist.rl. A writer can replace and free that array
after the read lock is dropped, so later reads of rl->lcn, rl->length and
rl->vcn can touch freed memory.

The buggy scenario involves two paths, with each column showing the order
within that path:

ntfs_attr_fallocate():
  1. Take ni->runlist.lock for read.
  2. Get rl from ntfs_attr_find_vcn_nolock().
  3. Drop ni->runlist.lock.
  4. Read rl->lcn, rl->length and rl->vcn.

mmap page_mkwrite:
  1. Enter ntfs_filemap_page_mkwrite().
  2. Reach __ntfs_write_iomap_begin() and ntfs_attr_map_cluster().
  3. Merge allocation state with ntfs_runlists_merge().
  4. Reallocate ni->runlist.rl in ntfs_rl_realloc(), freeing the old array.

Fix this by copying the needed runlist fields while the read lock is still
held and using only those scalar snapshots after unlocking.

After the snapshot, ntfs_attr_map_cluster() can also find that the range
is already mapped and return balloc=false. Only call ntfs_dio_zero_range()
when new clusters were allocated, matching the write iomap path and
preserving the zero-newly-allocated-holes behavior.
