fs/ntfs3: Prevent integer overflow in hdr_first_de()

Published Apr 16, 2025 CVSS 3.1 · 8.4 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

fs/ntfs3: Prevent integer overflow in hdr_first_de()

The "de_off" and "used" variables come from the disk so they both need to
check. The problem is that on 32bit systems if they're both greater than
UINT_MAX - 16 then the check does work as intended because of an integer
overflow.
