In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hfs: Fix OOB Write in hfs_asc2mac
Syzbot reported a OOB Write bug:
loop0: detected capacity change from 0 to 64
==================================================================
BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in hfs_asc2mac+0x467/0x9a0
fs/hfs/trans.c:133
Write of size 1 at addr ffff88801848314e by task syz-executor391/3632
Call Trace:

If in->len is much larger than HFS_NAMELEN(31) which is the maximum
length of an HFS filename, a OOB write could occur in hfs_asc2mac(). In
that case, when the dst reaches the boundary, the srclen is still
greater than 0, which causes a OOB write.
Fix this by adding a check on dstlen in while() before writing to dst
address.
