[SRU][J][PATCH 2/2] fs/ntfs3: Sequential field availability check in mi_enum_attr()

Thu Jan 23 14:46:38 UTC 2025


From: Konstantin Komarov <almaz.alexandrovich at paragon-software.com>

The code is slightly reformatted to consistently check field availability
without duplication.

Fixes: 556bdf27c2dd ("ntfs3: Add bounds checking to mi_enum_attr()")
Signed-off-by: Konstantin Komarov <almaz.alexandrovich at paragon-software.com>
(backported from commit 090f612756a9720ec18b0b130e28be49839d7cb5)
[mpellizzer: backported considering differences in context due to a
missing commit 013ff63b649475, which adds more attributes checks but
does not affect the patch]
CVE-2024-50248
