    When calling hfsplus_bmap_alloc 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 hfs_brec_lenoff

    ```
    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 is_bnode_offset_valid and
    check_and_correct_requested_length to hfsplus_fs.h, as they may be
    required by other functions.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Unity Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
