Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
A signed integer overflow issue has been identified in the Linux kernel, specifically in the printk function when defining LOG BUF LEN MAX. This occurs due to shifting 1 << 31 on a 32-bit int, causing undefined behavior. The issue is resolved by casting 1 to an unsigned 32-bit integer before performing the shift, ensuring well-defined behavior.
