Consequently, the function failed to return a valid value to\ninitialize the off variable, triggering the bug [1].\n\nEvery node starts from BTree node descriptor: struct hfs_bnode_desc.\nSo, the size of node cannot be lesser than that. However, technical\nspecification declares that: \"The node size (which is expressed in bytes)\nmust be power of two, from 512 through 32,768, inclusive.\" Add a check\nfor btree node size base on technical specification.\n\n[1]\nBUG: KMSAN: uninit-value in hfsplus_bnode_find+0x141c/0x1600 fs/hfsplus/bnode.c:584\n hfsplus_bnode_find+0x141c/0x1600 fs/hfsplus/bnode.c:584\n hfsplus_btree_open+0x169a/0x1e40 fs/hfsplus/btree.c:382\n hfsplus_fill_super+0x111f/0x2770 fs/hfsplus/super.c:553\n get_tree_bdev_flags+0x6e6/0x920 fs/super.c:1694\n get_tree_bdev+0x38/0x50 fs/super.c:1717\n hfsplus_get_tree+0x35/0x40 fs/hfsplus/super.c:709\n vfs_get_tree+0xb3/0x5d0 fs/super.c:1754\n fc_mount fs/namespace.c:1193 [inline]","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":7.8},"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/306265eb9384d2c224f1b14d83a29323f0eab6d1","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3f95e2661574ff13f099dd13456751933c280628"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:50:50.842544443+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-80656","score":0.00165,"percentile":0.0572,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
