In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
blk-iocost: avoid out of bounds shift
UBSAN catches undefined behavior in blk-iocost, where sometimes
iocg->delay is shifted right by a number that is too large,
resulting in undefined behavior on some architectures.
[ 186.556576] ------------[ cut here ]------------
UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in block/blk-iocost.c:1366:23
shift exponent 64 is too large for 64-bit type ‘u64’ (aka ‘unsigned long
long’)
CPU: 16 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/16 Tainted: G S E N
6.9.0-0_fbk700_debug_rc2_kbuilder_0_gc85af715cac0 #1
Hardware name: Quanta Twin Lakes MP/Twin Lakes Passive MP, BIOS F09_3A23

Call Trace:
<IRQ>
dump_stack_lvl+0x8f/0xe0
__ubsan_handle_shift_out_of_bounds+0x22c/0x280
iocg_kick_delay+0x30b/0x310
ioc_timer_fn+0x2fb/0x1f80
__run_timer_base+0x1b6/0x250

Avoid that undefined behavior by simply taking the
“delay = 0” branch if the shift is too large.
I am not sure what the symptoms of an undefined value
delay will be, but I suspect it could be more than a
little annoying to debug.
