In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/jfs: Add check for negative db_l2nbperpage
l2nbperpage is log2(number of blks per page), and the minimum legal
value should be 0, not negative.
In the case of l2nbperpage being negative, an error will occur
when subsequently used as shift exponent.
Syzbot reported this bug:
UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in fs/jfs/jfs_dmap.c:799:12
shift exponent -16777216 is negative

Exploitation none (CISA Vulnrichment) · Automatable no (CISA Vulnrichment) · Technical impact total (CISA Vulnrichment). Mission impact is CISA's Mission & Well-being decision point, and only you can judge it: high means the affected system is essential to your organisation's mission, or its compromise could cause irreversible harm to people.
