SubjectRe: [PATCH v3] fs/ntfs3: add a boundary check for EA_FULL
This patch is useful and shows what the bug is however the fix needs
some additional work.

This commit message is not good and does not explain what how the
problem appears to the user. Don't start the commit message in the
middle of a sentence.

This is not what I suggested... There several problems with this patch.

1) If we call find_ea() if "bytes" set to a number in 1-7 range then
then the unpacked_ea_size() is an out of bounds read.
2) The *off + unpacked_ea_size() can have an integer overflow.
3) The math in "next_len + ea->name_len + le16_to_cpu(ea->elength)" is
not correct. It should use unpacked_ea_size() instead. (The math
is different, this is a bug an not a style complaint).
4) My one style complaint is that "8" in "next_off + 8" is a magic
number.

So maybe we could separate out the issue with the buffer overflow from
the integer overflow.

Patch 1: Fix buffer overflow:

Add "if (bytes - *off < sizeof(*ea))" before the call to
"ea = Add2Ptr(ea_all, *off);". Then remove the "!bytes" test. That
test is wrong and useless. Also remove the if (next_off >= bytes) test.
That test is also insufficient and no longer required.

Patch 2: Fix the integer overflow bug.

- next_off = *off + unpacked_ea_size(ea);
+ next_off = size_add(*off, unpacked_ea_size(ea));

We also need to change the types of next_off and bytes to size_t for the
size_add() to be useful. I forgot about that last time I sent this.

After both patches are applied the code will look like below.
