Subject: [PATCH 1/3] hfs/hfsplus: fix u32 overflow in check_and_correct_requested_length
Date: Fri, 1 May 2026 11:02:15 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260501110218.29906-1-tristmd@gmail.com> (raw)
From: Tristan Madani <tristan@talencesecurity.com>
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 comparing len against (node_size - off) instead. Since
is_bnode_offset_valid() already guarantees off < node_size before this
point, the subtraction cannot underflow.
