+    hfs: fix a potential buffer overflow
+    
+    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.
