Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
cdrom: rearrange last_media_change check to avoid unintentional overflow<br />
<br />
When running syzkaller with the newly reintroduced signed integer wrap<br />
sanitizer we encounter this splat:<br />

<br />
Historically, the signed integer overflow sanitizer did not work in the<br />
kernel due to its interaction with `-fwrapv` but this has since been<br />
changed [1] in the newest version of Clang. It was re-enabled in the<br />
kernel with Commit 557f8c582a9ba8ab ("ubsan: Reintroduce signed overflow<br />
sanitizer").<br />
<br />
Let&#39;s rearrange the check to not perform any arithmetic, thus not<br />
tripping the sanitizer.
