    fs/ntfs3: Fix slab-out-of-bounds read in hdr_delete_de()

    Here is a BUG report from syzbot:

    BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in hdr_delete_de+0xe0/0x150 fs/ntfs3/index.c:806
    Read of size 16842960 at addr ffff888079cc0600 by task syz-executor934/3631

    Call Trace:

     ntfs_rename+0x41a/0xcb0 fs/ntfs3/namei.c:276

    Before using the meta-data in struct INDEX_HDR, we need to
    check index header valid or not. Otherwise, the corruptedi
    (or malicious) fs image can cause out-of-bounds access which
    could make kernel panic.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Unity Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
