Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-12-30 13:06:40 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

nilfs2: fix shift-out-of-bounds due to too large exponent of block size

If field s_log_block_size of superblock data is corrupted and too large,
init_nilfs() and load_nilfs() still can trigger a shift-out-of-bounds
warning followed by a kernel panic (if panic_on_warn is set):

 shift exponent 38973 is too large for 32-bit type 'int'
 Call Trace:
  <TASK>
  dump_stack_lvl+0xcd/0x134
  ubsan_epilogue+0xb/0x50
  __ubsan_handle_shift_out_of_bounds.cold.12+0x17b/0x1f5
  init_nilfs.cold.11+0x18/0x1d [nilfs2]
  nilfs_mount+0x9b5/0x12b0 [nilfs2]
  ...

This fixes the issue by adding and using a new helper function for getting
block size with sanity check.
