Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hfsplus: Add a sanity check for btree node size
Syzbot reported an uninit-value bug in [1] with a corrupted HFS+ image,
during the file system mounting process, specifically while loading the
catalog, a corrupted node_size value of 1 caused the rec_off argument
passed to hfs_bnode_read_u16() (within hfs_bnode_find()) to be excessively
large. Consequently, the function failed to return a valid value to
initialize the off variable, triggering the bug [1].
Every node starts from BTree node descriptor: struct hfs_bnode_desc.
So, the size of node cannot be lesser than that. However, technical
specification declares that: "The node size (which is expressed in bytes)
must be power of two, from 512 through 32,768, inclusive." Add a check
for btree node size base on technical specification.
