From: Yang Chenzhi <yang.chenzhi@vivo.com>

[ Upstream commit 738d5a51864ed8d7a68600b8c0c63fe6fe5c4f20 ]

hfsplus_bmap_alloc can trigger a crash if a
record offset or length is larger than node_size

When calling hfsplus_bmap_alloc to allocate a free node, this function
first retrieves the bitmap from header node and map node using node->page
together with the offset and length from hfs_brec_lenoff

```
len = hfs_brec_lenoff(node, 2, &off16);
off = off16;

off += node->page_offset;
pagep = node->page + (off >> PAGE_SHIFT);
data = kmap_local_page(*pagep);
```

However, if the retrieved offset or length is invalid(i.e. exceeds
node_size), the code may end up accessing pages outside the allocated
range for this node.

This patch adds proper validation of both offset and length before use,
preventing out-of-bounds page access. Move is_bnode_offset_valid and
check_and_correct_requested_length to hfsplus_fs.h, as they may be
required by other functions.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

Based on my comprehensive analysis of this commit and the HFS+
filesystem security hardening effort, here is my determination:

## **YES**

This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees.

## Detailed Analysis

### **Vulnerability Details**

**Type**: KASAN-detected slab-out-of-bounds read vulnerability (CVE-
worthy security issue)

**Location**: `fs/hfsplus/btree.c` in the `hfsplus_bmap_alloc()`
function at lines 393-404

**Root Cause**: The function retrieves offset and length values from on-
disk HFS+ btree data via `hfs_brec_lenoff(node, 2, &off16)` without
validation. These untrusted values are then used for pointer arithmetic
and page access:

```c
off += node->page_offset;
pagep = node->page + (off >> PAGE_SHIFT);  // ← Vulnerable pointer
arithmetic
data = kmap_local_page(*pagep);            // ← Maps potentially invalid
page
```

If the offset exceeds `node->tree->node_size`, the code accesses memory
outside the allocated slab, triggering the KASAN slab-out-of-bounds
error.

### **Security Impact**

1. **Denial of Service**: Confirmed kernel crash (see KASAN trace in
   commit message)
2. **Information Disclosure**: Out-of-bounds read could leak kernel
   memory contents
3. **Attack Vector**: Mounting a malicious HFS+ filesystem image
4. **Exploitability**: syzbot has a reproducer, indicating reliable
   exploitability
5. **Affected Users**: Any system that mounts HFS+ filesystems,
   particularly those handling USB drives or user-provided disk images

### **Fix Quality Assessment**

The fix adds 6 lines to `fs/hfsplus/btree.c:btree.c:396-400`:

```c
+       if (!is_bnode_offset_valid(node, off)) {
+               hfs_bnode_put(node);
+               return ERR_PTR(-EIO);
+       }
+       len = check_and_correct_requested_length(node, off, len);
```

**Positive attributes:**
- Small, focused change
- Reuses validation functions from commit c80aa2aaaa5e (already
  backported)
- Proper error handling with cleanup (`hfs_bnode_put`)
- Returns appropriate error code (`-EIO`)
- Reviewed by subsystem maintainer (Viacheslav Dubeyko)

### **Historical Context**

This is part of a systematic HFS+ hardening effort:

1. **Commit c80aa2aaaa5e (July 25, 2025)**: Introduced
   `is_bnode_offset_valid()` and `check_and_correct_requested_length()`
   validation functions in `bnode.c` for use in
   `hfsplus_bnode_read/write/clear/copy/move`. **This commit was already
   backported to multiple stable kernels.**

2. **This commit (738d5a51864ed, August 31, 2025)**: Extends the same
   validation to `hfsplus_bmap_alloc()` in `btree.c` by:
   - Moving validation functions to `hfsplus_fs.h` header (for wider
     availability)
   - Adding validation to newly-identified vulnerable code path

3. **Pattern of similar fixes**: My analysis found at least 15 other
   slab-out-of-bounds fixes in HFS+ since 2023, many of which were
   backported.

### **Stable Tree Criteria Compliance**

✅ **Fixes important bug**: Security vulnerability causing kernel crash
✅ **No new features**: Pure bug fix
✅ **No architectural changes**: Moves existing functions to header
(standard practice)
✅ **Minimal regression risk**: Only adds defensive validation checks
✅ **Confined to subsystem**: Changes limited to HFS+ filesystem
✅ **Has clear reproducer**: syzbot report with reproducer available
✅ **Reviewed by maintainer**: Signed-off-by subsystem maintainer
✅ **Precedent exists**: Related fix (c80aa2aaaa5e) was already
backported

### **Risk Assessment**

**Regression Risk**: **Very Low**
- Only adds validation checks before existing operations
- Returns error on invalid data (fail-safe behavior)
- No changes to functional code paths with valid data

**Testing**: syzbot reproducer available for validation

**Backport Complexity**: **Low**
- The validation functions were already introduced in c80aa2aaaa5e
- If that commit is already in stable tree, this is a trivial addition
- If not, both should be backported together

### **Recommendation**

**Backport to all stable kernels** that include HFS+ filesystem support,
prioritizing kernels that already have commit
c80aa2aaaa5e69d5219c6af8ef7e754114bd08d2 applied. This is a clear-cut
security fix with minimal risk and is part of an ongoing, systematic
hardening effort for HFS+ filesystem robustness.
