In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mptcp: Correctly set DATA_FIN timeout when number of retransmits is large

Syzkaller with UBSAN uncovered a scenario where a large number of

DATA_FIN retransmits caused a shift-out-of-bounds in the DATA_FIN

timeout calculation:

================================================================================

UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in net/mptcp/protocol.c:470:29

shift exponent 32 is too large for 32-bit type 'unsigned int'

CPU: 1 PID: 13059 Comm: kworker/1:0 Not tainted 5.17.0-rc2-00630-g5fbf21c90c60 #1

Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.13.0-1ubuntu1.1 04/01/2014

Workqueue: events mptcp_worker

================================================================================

This change limits the maximum timeout by limiting the size of the

shift, which keeps all intermediate values in-bounds.
