      <title>CVE-2024-38540 — bnxt_re: avoid shift undefined behavior in bnxt_qplib_alloc_init_hwq</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2024-38540</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;bnxt_re: avoid shift undefined behavior in bnxt_qplib_alloc_init_hwq&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Undefined behavior is triggered when bnxt_qplib_alloc_init_hwq is called
with hwq_attr-&amp;gt;aux_depth != 0 and hwq_attr-&amp;gt;aux_stride == 0.
In that case, &amp;#34;roundup_pow_of_two(hwq_attr-&amp;gt;aux_stride)&amp;#34; gets called.
roundup_pow_of_two is documented as undefined for 0.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fix it in the one caller that had this combination.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The undefined behavior was detected by UBSAN:
  UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in ./include/linux/log2.h:57:13
  shift exponent 64 is too large for 64-bit type &amp;#39;long unsigned int&amp;#39;
