Original description
The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: atm: usbatm: fix invalid ci_range initialization
syzbot reported a shift-out-of-bounds in __vcc_connect():
UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in net/atm/common.c:382:32
shift exponent -1 is negative

ATM device ci_range fields (vpi_bits and vci_bits) represent the
number of bits supported for VPI and VCI addressing on the device.
net/atm/common.c directly uses these fields as bit shift counts:
vpi >> dev->ci_range.vpi_bits
vci >> dev->ci_range.vci_bits
1 << vcc->dev->ci_range.vpi_bits
1 << vcc->dev->ci_range.vci_bits
usbatm_atm_init() sets ci_range.vpi_bits and ci_range.vci_bits to
ATM_CI_MAX (-1), which is defined in as a
sentinel value for userspace ATM_SETCIRANGE requests, not a valid bit
count. Shifting by -1 is undefined behavior and triggers UBSAN
warnings.
ATM UNI cell headers allow up to 8 bits for VPI (0..255) and 16…
