The issue is caused when the value of lp becomes greater than CTLTREESIZE which is the max size of stree. Adding a simple check solves this issue. Dave: As the function returns a void, good error handling would require a more intrusive code reorganization, so I modified Osama's patch at use WARN_ON_ONCE for lack of a cleaner option. The patch is tested via syzbot.

Notes

the added check that "fixes" this issue gets removed as
part of the commit that fixes CVE-2023-52601, 74ecdda68242 ("jfs:
fix array-index-out-of-bounds in dbAdjTree")

the fix to CVE-2023-52601 also fixes this.

USN-6765-1 for linux-oem-6.5 wrongly stated that this CVE
was fixed in version 6.5.0-1022.23. The mentioned notice was revoked and
the state of the fix for linux-oem-6.5 was recovered to the previous
state.
