[PATCH] ufs: validate block and fragment shifts

From: Matheus Alves de Almeida

Date: Fri Sep 25 2026 - 00:34:19 EST


Currently, ufs_fill_super() accepts images with an fs_bshift and an
fs_fshift that do not match their respective size fields. This causes
UBSAN shift-out-of-bounds issues in the bad fs_bshift case and an
out-of-bounds read and kernel oops in the bad fs_fshift case.

Make the ufs_fill_super() function check that these fields agree with
their size counterparts.

Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
