In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nftables: avoid overflows in nft_hash_buckets() Number of
buckets being stored in 32bit variables, we have to ensure that no
overflows occur in nft_hash_buckets() syzbot injected a size == 0x40000000
and reported: UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in ./include/linux/log2.h:57:13
shift exponent 64 is too large for 64-bit type ‘long unsigned int’ CPU: 1
PID: 29539 Comm: syz-executor.4 Not tainted 5.12.0-rc7-syzkaller #0
