Subject: [PATCH] hpfs: add array bounds validation in hpfs_bplus_lookup
Author: kartikey406@gmail.com

#syz test: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git master


When traversing a corrupted HPFS filesystem, the n_used_nodes field in
the btree header can contain a value larger than what fits in the
allocated buffer. This causes out-of-bounds array access when iterating
through btree->u.internal[] or btree->u.external[] arrays, leading to
a KASAN-detected use-after-free.

Validate that n_used_nodes does not exceed the maximum number of nodes
that can fit in the buffer before accessing the arrays.
