Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvmem: Fix shift-out-of-bound (UBSAN) with byte size cells
If a cell has ‘nbits’ equal to a multiple of BITS_PER_BYTE the logic
*p &= GENMASK((cell->nbits%BITS_PER_BYTE) – 1, 0);
will become undefined behavior because nbits modulo BITS_PER_BYTE is 0, and we
subtract one from that making a large number that is then shifted more than the
number of bits that fit into an unsigned long.
UBSAN reports this problem:
UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in drivers/nvmem/core.c:1386:8
shift exponent 64 is too large for 64-bit type ‘unsigned long’
CPU: 6 PID: 7 Comm: kworker/u16:0 Not tainted 5.15.0-rc3+ #9
Hardware name: Google Lazor (rev3+) with KB Backlight (DT)
Workqueue: events_unbound deferred_probe_work_func

Fix it by making sure there are any bits to mask out.
