[ 667.179350][ T9805] ==================================================================
The hfsplus_uni2asc() method operates by struct hfsplus_unistr:
struct hfsplus_unistr {
__be16 length;
hfsplus_unichr unicode[HFSPLUS_MAX_STRLEN];
} __packed;
where HFSPLUS_MAX_STRLEN is 255 bytes. The issue happens if length
of the structure instance has value bigger than 255 (for example,
65283). In such case, pointer on unicode buffer is going beyond of
the allocated memory.
The patch fixes the issue by checking the length value of
hfsplus_unistr instance and using 255 value in the case if length
value is bigger than HFSPLUS_MAX_STRLEN. Potential reason of such
situation could be a corruption of Catalog File b-tree's node.
The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2025-38713 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========
The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
