Summary

An unsigned integer overflow (u32) was found in the check_and_correct_requested_length function in HFS and HFSPlus filesystems in the Linux kernel. A large len value can wrap the off+len sum, bypassing bounds checking and leading to out-of-bounds buffer read.

Risk Assessment

This vulnerability could lead to disclosure of sensitive data or system crash due to out-of-bounds memory read.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel patch that widens the addition to u64 before comparing against node_size.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: hfs/hfsplus: fix u32 overflow in check_and_correct_requested_length check_and_correct_requested_length() compares (off + len) against node_size using u32 arithmetic. When the caller passes a large len value (e.g. from an underflowed subtraction in hfs_brec_remove()), off + len can wrap past 2^32 and produce a small result, causing the bounds check to pass when it should fail. For example, with off=14 and len=0xFFFFFFF2 (underflowed from data_off - keyoffset - size in hfs_brec_remove), off + len wraps to 6, which is less than a typical node_size of 512, so the check passes and the subsequent memmove reads ~4GB past the node buffer. Fix this by widening the addition to u64 before comparing against node_size. This prevents the u32 wrap while keeping the logic straightforward.
