"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2025-992962 advisory.

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    tcp: Fix shift-out-of-bounds in dctcp_update_alpha().

    In dctcp_update_alpha(), we use a module parameter dctcp_shift_g
    as follows:

      alpha -= min_not_zero(alpha, alpha >> dctcp_shift_g);
      ...
      delivered_ce <<= (10 - dctcp_shift_g);

    It seems syzkaller started fuzzing module parameters and triggered
    shift-out-of-bounds [0] by setting 100 to dctcp_shift_g:

      memcpy((void*)0x20000080,
             /sys/module/tcp_dctcp/parameters/dctcp_shift_g\000, 47);
      res = syscall(__NR_openat, /*fd=*/0xffffffffffffff9cul, /*file=*/0x20000080ul,
                    /*flags=*/2ul, /*mode=*/0ul);
      memcpy((void*)0x20000000, 100\000, 4);
      syscall(__NR_write, /*fd=*/r[0], /*val=*/0x20000000ul, /*len=*/4ul);

    Let's limit the max value of dctcp_shift_g by param_set_uint_minmax().

    With this patch:

      # echo 10 > /sys/module/tcp_dctcp/parameters/dctcp_shift_g
      # cat /sys/module/tcp_dctcp/parameters/dctcp_shift_g
      10
      # echo 11 > /sys/module/tcp_dctcp/parameters/dctcp_shift_g
      -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument

    [0]:
    UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in net/ipv4/tcp_dctcp.c:143:12
