# CVE-2026-89557

> 7.8 HIGH

## Beschreibung

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

md: do overflow check for sb->bblog_shift in super_1_load()

In super_1_load(), sb->bblog_shift is an __u8 type value loaded from on-
disk superblock. It is used for badblocks API badblocks_set() by the
following sequence,

 1930   rdev->badblocks.shift = sb->bblog_shift;
 1931   for (i = 0 ; i < (sectors > 10;
 1935           sector bblog_shit is in range of 0-255, variable sector is 64bit width, for
an invalid bb->bblog_shit, it is possible to make sector be overflowed
by the following calculation,
 1935           sector badblocks.shift set at line 1930, may result an overflow inside
_badblocks_clear() in block/badblocks.c.

Although there are many places to call badblocks APIs, the non-zero
shift value is only used in super_1_load(), other places always use 0 as
the shift value. Therefore it is unnecessary to do a general shift value
overflow check inside badblock API, and just check here as the caller.

This may avoid unnecessary check, make the badblocks API code more simple
and elegant.
