Subject: [PATCH] befs: fix shift-out-of-bounds in befs_check_sb
Date: Mon, 26 Oct 2026 20:04:47 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261026143447.201827-1-gowtham398gs@gmail.com> (raw)

The consistency check for the block_size by using the block_shift caused
integer overflow. Thus a max limit to the block_shift was defined named
BEFS_MAX_BLOCK_SHIFT in befs.h. Also check for the block_shift was added
so that overflow does not occur.

Reported-by: syzbot+fc26c366038b54261e53@syzkaller.appspotmail.com
Closes: https://://appspotmail.com/bug?extid=fc26c366038b54261e53
Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
