Subject: [PATCH] ntfs3: reject empty iomap before reading its LCN
Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2026 23:17:43 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260630211743.50400-1-alhouseenyousef@gmail.com> (raw)

attr_data_get_block() can return success with a zero run length when no
cached or on-disk mapping covers a read VCN. In that case it does not
initialize the LCN output.

Check the returned length before comparing the LCN against the special
mapping values. This preserves the existing -EINVAL result for an empty
mapping without passing an uninitialized LCN to the comparisons.

Fixes: ecbb433f9a8e ("fs/ntfs3: fold file size handling into ntfs_set_size()")
Reported-by: syzbot+4b4ec878e25fafefa70f@syzkaller.appspotmail.com
Closes: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=4b4ec878e25fafefa70f
