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."}],"metrics":[{"cvssV3_1":{"version":"3.1","vectorString":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","baseScore":7.8,"baseSeverity":"HIGH"},"scenarios":[{"lang":"en","value":"AV:L - The vulnerable HFS/HFS+ B-tree operations are reachable through local filesystem syscalls such as removexattr() and rename() after a crafted volume is mounted. No network protocol directly supplies the malformed B-tree metadata.\nAC:L - A crafted B-tree deterministically produces the length underflow and u32 addition wrap; no race or condition outside the attacker's control is required.\nPR:L - Although mounting HFS/HFS+ requires init-namespace CAP_SYS_ADMIN, an unprivileged user with ordinary write access to a file on an already mounted crafted volume can trigger the flaw through user.* xattr removal or permitted rename operations.\nUI:N - The attacker can invoke the triggering filesystem syscall directly once the crafted volume is mounted; no action by another user is required.\nS:U - The corruption occurs in the kernel while processing filesystem metadata and does not cross a separate virtualization, IOMMU, or other security authority boundary.\nC:H - The wrapped near-4-GiB copy performs out-of-bounds reads and, in HFS+, can walk beyond the node's page-pointer array, providing a defensible path to broad kernel-memory disclosure.\nI:H - The affected move, copy, clear, and write paths can write beyond the B-tree node buffer; the huge memmove is therefore exploitable memory corruption rather than a read-only crash.\nA:H - The enormous out-of-bounds memory operation can reliably cause a kernel oops or panic and can corrupt large regions of kernel memory, producing complete system
