CVE-2025-40295CVE-2025-40295
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fscrypt: fix left shift underflow when inode->i_blkbits > PAGE_SHIFT
When simulating an nvme device on qemu with both logical_block_size and
physical_block_size set to 8 KiB, an error trace appears during
partition table reading at boot time. The issue is caused by
inode->i_blkbits being larger than PAGE_SHIFT, which leads to a left
shift of -1 and triggering a UBSAN warning.
