Subject: CVE-2025-40349: hfs: validate record offset in hfsplus_bmap_alloc

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...nel.org>

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

hfs: validate record offset in hfsplus_bmap_alloc

hfsplus_bmap_alloc can trigger a crash if a
record offset or length is larger than node_size

When calling hfsplus_bmap_alloc to allocate a free node, this function
first retrieves the bitmap from header node and map node using node->page
together with the offset and length from hfs_brec_lenoff

```
len = hfs_brec_lenoff(node, 2, &off16);
off = off16;

off += node->page_offset;
pagep = node->page + (off >> PAGE_SHIFT);
data = kmap_local_page(*pagep);
```

However, if the retrieved offset or length is invalid(i.e. exceeds
node_size), the code may end up accessing pages outside the allocated
range for this node.

This patch adds proper validation of both offset and length before use,
preventing out-of-bounds page access. Move is_bnode_offset_valid and
check_and_correct_requested_length to hfsplus_fs.h, as they may be
required by other functions.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2025-40349 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:
