| Name | CVE-2024-36916 |
| Description | 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 12/08/2020
Call Trace:

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. |
