In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hfs: validate record offset in hfsplusbmapalloc
hfsplusbmapalloc can trigger a crash if a record offset or length is larger than node_size

When calling hfsplusbmapalloc 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 hfsbreclenoff
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 isbnodeoffsetvalid and checkandcorrectrequestedlength to hfsplusfs.h, as they may be required by other functions.
