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