[PATCH] ntfs: Ensure $Extend is a directory

From: Soumya Negi <hidden>
Date: 2022-07-24 13:21:57
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), ntfs filesystem, the rest · Maintainers: Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Namjae Jeon, Hyunchul Lee, Linus Torvalds

Fixes Syzbot bug: kernel BUG in ntfs_lookup_inode_by_name
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=32cf53b48c1846ffc25a185a2e92e170d1a95d71

Check whether $Extend is a directory or not( for NTFS3.0+) while loading
system files. If it isn't(as in the case of this bug where the mft record for
$Extend contains a regular file), load_system_files() returns false.
