Bugzilla: 540741
CVE: CVE-2009-4020

CVE-2009-4020
(This bug is public now.)

BZ:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=540741

Description:
A specially-crafted Hierarchical File System (HFS) filesystem could cause a
buffer overflow to occur in a process's kernel stack during a memcpy() call
within the hfs_bnode_read() function (at fs/hfs/bnode.c:24). The attacker can
provide the source buffer and length, and the destination buffer is a local
variable of a fixed length. This local variable (passed as "&entry" from
fs/hfs/dir.c:112 and allocated on line 60) is stored in the stack frame of
hfs_bnode_read()'s caller, which is hfs_readdir(). Because the hfs_readdir()
function executes upon any attempt to read a directory on the filesystem, it
gets called whenever a user attempts to inspect any filesystem contents.

Upstream status:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm-commits&m=125987755823047&w=2

Test status:
With the test image from Eugene, I can confirm it fixes the
problem.
