[PATCH] HID: core: clamp report_size in s32ton() to avoid undefined shift

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Date: Mon Apr 06 2026 - 10:04:27 EST


s32ton() shifts by n-1 where n is the field's report_size, a value that
comes directly from a HID device. The HID parser bounds report_size
only to <= 256, so a broken HID device can supply a report descriptor
with a wide field that triggers shift exponents up to 256 on a 32-bit
type when an output report is built via hid_output_field() or
hid_set_field().

Commit ec61b41918587 ("HID: core: fix shift-out-of-bounds in
hid_report_raw_event") added the same n > 32 clamp to the function
snto32(), but s32ton() was never given the same fix as I guess syzbot
hadn't figured out how to fuzz a device the same way.

Fix this up by just clamping the max value of n, just like snto32()
does.
