Type:
CWE-190

Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
fs/ntfs3: validate BOOT sectors_per_clusters<br />
<br />
When the NTFS BOOT sectors_per_clusters field is > 0x80, it represents a<br />
shift value. Make sure that the shift value is not too large before using<br />
it (NTFS max cluster size is 2MB). Return -EVINVAL if it too large.<br />
<br />
This prevents negative shift values and shift values that are larger than<br />
the field size.<br />
<br />
Prevents this UBSAN error:<br />
<br />
UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in ../fs/ntfs3/super.c:673:16<br />
shift exponent -192 is negative
