[PATCH ntfs] fs/ntfs3: fix slab-out-of-bounds write in attr_insert_range()

Message-ID <[email protected]>
When fallocate(FALLOC_FL_INSERT_RANGE) grows a still-resident ntfs3
attribute, attr_insert_range() shifts the inline data using the insert
length 'bytes' as both the destination offset and the copy size:

  memmove(data + bytes, data, bytes);

Both are wrong: the shift must start at the insertion point 'vbo' and
move only the data past it (data_size - vbo). When bytes > data_size the
memmove runs off the end of the data_size + bytes buffer and overflows
the adjacent slab object.

Since vbo < data_size is already enforced above, the reworked offsets stay
within the data_size + bytes buffer and cannot under/overflow.

  BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in attr_insert_range (fs/ntfs3/attrib.c:2581)
