In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nilfs2: fix shift-out-of-bounds due to too large exponent of block size
If field s_log_block_size of superblock data is corrupted and too large,
init_nilfs() and load_nilfs() still can trigger a shift-out-of-bounds
warning followed by a kernel panic (if panic_on_warn is set):
shift exponent 38973 is too large for 32-bit type 'int'
Call Trace:
<TASK>
dump_stack_lvl+0xcd/0x134
ubsan_epilogue+0xb/0x50
__ubsan_handle_shift_out_of_bounds.cold.12+0x17b/0x1f5
init_nilfs.cold.11+0x18/0x1d [nilfs2]
nilfs_mount+0x9b5/0x12b0 [nilfs2]
...
This fixes the issue by adding and using a new helper function for getting
block size with sanity check.
