Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
bnxt_re: avoid shift undefined behavior in bnxt_qplib_alloc_init_hwq<br />
<br />
Undefined behavior is triggered when bnxt_qplib_alloc_init_hwq is called<br />
with hwq_attr->aux_depth != 0 and hwq_attr->aux_stride == 0.<br />
In that case, "roundup_pow_of_two(hwq_attr->aux_stride)" gets called.<br />
roundup_pow_of_two is documented as undefined for 0.<br />
<br />
Fix it in the one caller that had this combination.<br />
<br />
The undefined behavior was detected by UBSAN:<br />
UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in ./include/linux/log2.h:57:13<br />
shift exponent 64 is too large for 64-bit type &#39;long unsigned int&#39;<br />
CPU: 24 PID: 1075 Comm: (udev-worker) Not tainted 6.9.0-rc6+ #4<br />
Hardware name: Abacus electric, s.r.o. - servis@abacus.cz Super Server/H12SSW-iN, BIOS 2.7 10/25/2023<br />
