CVE-2026-64361
Vulnerability Description
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.
