Technical Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/ntfs3: Fix slab-out-of-bounds in r_page
When PAGE_SIZE is 64K, if read_log_page is called by log_read_rst for
the first time, the size of *buffer would be equal to
DefaultLogPageSize(4K).But for *buffer operations like memcpy,
if the memory area size(n) which being assigned to buffer is larger
than 4K (log->page_size(64K) or bytes(64K-page_off)), it will cause
an out of boundary error.

Fix this by setting variable r_page to NULL in log_read_rst.
