CVE-2022-50442 — fs/ntfs3: Validate buffer length while parsing index

Affected: Linux

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

fs/ntfs3: Validate buffer length while parsing index

indx_read is called when we have some NTFS directory operations that need more information from the index buffers. This adds a sanity check to make sure the returned index buffer length is legit, or we may have some out-of-bound memory accesses.
