Doc Text:
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's `drm/ttm` component. A local user could exploit an undefined behavior in bit shifting, specifically when a signed 32-bit value is shifted by 31 bits, which cannot be represented in an 'int' type. This vulnerability could lead to local information disclosure, potentially revealing sensitive system details. Additionally, it can result in a kernel warning or panic, causing a Denial of Service (DoS) for the affected system.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-09-18 14:04:54 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/ttm: fix undefined behavior in bit shift for TTM_TT_FLAG_PRIV_POPULATED

Shifting signed 32-bit value by 31 bits is undefined, so changing
significant bit to unsigned. The UBSAN warning calltrace like below:

UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in ./include/drm/ttm/ttm_tt.h:122:26
left shift of 1 by 31 places cannot be represented in type 'int'
