(gdb) l *__hfsplus_ext_cache_extent+0x7d0
0xffffffff8318aef0 is in __hfsplus_ext_cache_extent (fs/hfsplus/extents.c:168).
163 fd->key->ext.cnid = 0;
164 res = hfs_brec_find(fd, hfs_find_rec_by_key);
165 if (res && res != -ENOENT)
166 return res;
167 if (fd->key->ext.cnid != fd->search_key->ext.cnid ||
168 fd->key->ext.fork_type != fd->search_key->ext.fork_type)
169 return -ENOENT;
170 if (fd->entrylength != sizeof(hfsplus_extent_rec))
171 return -EIO;
172 hfs_bnode_read(fd->bnode, extent, fd->entryoffset,
The __hfsplus_ext_cache_extent() calls __hfsplus_ext_read_extent():
res = __hfsplus_ext_read_extent(fd, hip->cached_extents, inode->i_ino,
block, HFSPLUS_IS_RSRC(inode) ?
HFSPLUS_TYPE_RSRC :
HFSPLUS_TYPE_DATA);
And if inode->i_ino could be equal to zero or any non-available CNID,
then hfs_brec_find() could not find the record in the tree. As a result,
fd->key could be compared with fd->search_key. But hfsplus_find_init()
uses kmalloc() for fd->key and fd->search_key allocation:
int hfs_find_init(struct hfs_btree *tree, struct hfs_find_data *fd)
{
<skipped>
ptr = kmalloc(tree->max_key_len * 2 + 4, GFP_KERNEL);
if (!ptr)
return -ENOMEM;
fd->search_key = ptr;
fd->key = ptr + tree->max_key_len + 2;
<skipped>
}
Finally, fd->key is still not initialized if hfs_brec_find()
has found nothing.
This patch changes kmalloc() on kzalloc() in hfs_find_init()
and intializes fd->record, fd->keyoffset, fd->keylength,
fd->entryoffset, fd->entrylength for the case if hfs_brec_find()
has been found nothing in the b-tree node.
The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2025-40244 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:
