CVE-2025-0927 is a heap overflow vulnerability found in the HFS+ file system implementation within the Linux Kernel. Discovered by Attila Szász, the vulnerability can be exploited if an attacker mounts a specially crafted file system image. This flaw, a buffer overflow in B-tree node processing within the HFS+ driver, can lead to a denial of service (system crash) or potentially allow the execution of arbitrary code. The vulnerability has been present in the Linux kernel since 2005 (Linux-2.6.12-rc2) and affects Linux Kernel versions up to 6.12.0, as well as Ubuntu 22.04 with Linux Kernel 6.5.0-18-generic. A public proof-of-concept exploit exists for this vulnerability.

Description
Attila Szász discovered that the HFS+ file system implementation in the Linux Kernel contained a heap overflow vulnerability. An attacker could use a specially crafted file system image that, when mounted, could cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code.
