Doc Text:
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's I3C (Improved Inter-Integrated Circuit) dw driver. When the system attempts to assign dynamic addresses on an empty I3C bus, a calculation error leads to a 'shift-out-of-bounds' condition. This can cause the system to crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-09-17 17:41:12 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

i3c: dw: avoid shift-out-of-bounds when DAA assigns no devices

On an empty bus ENTDAA assigns nothing, so cmd->rx_len (the count
of addresses left unassigned) equals master->maxdevs.

The GENMASK() index master->maxdevs - cmd->rx_len - 1 then becomes -1,
which trips up UBSAN. This happens every time on boot on a Gigabyte/AMD
server:

    UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in drivers/i3c/master/dw-i3c-master.c:905:12
    shift exponent 64 is too large for 64-bit type 'long unsigned int'
