Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> net: usb: asix_devices: Fix PHY address mask in MDIO bus initialization<br /> <br /> Syzbot reported shift-out-of-bounds exception on MDIO bus initialization.<br /> <br /> The PHY address should be masked to 5 bits (0-31). Without this<br /> mask, invalid PHY addresses could be used, potentially causing issues<br /> with MDIO bus operations.<br /> <br /> Fix this by masking the PHY address with 0x1f (31 decimal) to ensure<br /> it stays within the valid range.
