When the caller passes a large len\nvalue (e.g. from an underflowed subtraction in hfs_brec_remove()),\noff + len can wrap past 2^32 and produce a small result, causing the\nbounds check to pass when it should fail.\n\nFor example, with off=14 and len=0xFFFFFFF2 (underflowed from\ndata_off - keyoffset - size in hfs_brec_remove), off + len wraps to 6,\nwhich is less than a typical node_size of 512, so the check passes and\nthe subsequent memmove reads ~4GB past the node buffer.\n\nFix this by widening the addition to u64 before comparing against\nnode_size.  This prevents the u32 wrap while keeping the logic\nstraightforward.","published":"2026-07-25T10:17:19.000Z","lastModified":"2026-09-04T15:57:14.000Z","status":"Analyzed","sourceIdentifier":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":7.8,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-191"],"affected":["linux/linux kernel"],"epss":{"score":0.00129,"percentile":0.02549,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"high","text":"High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.13%).
