What it is

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

hfs: fix slab-out-of-bounds in hfs_bnode_read()

This patch introduces is_bnode_offset_valid() method that checks

the requested offset value. Also, it introduces

check_and_correct_requested_length() method that checks and

correct the requested length (if it is necessary). These methods

are used in hfs_bnode_read(), hfs_bnode_write(), hfs_bnode_clear(),

hfs_bnode_copy(), and hfs_bnode_move() with the goal to prevent

the access out of allocated memory and triggering the crash.
