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

ring-buffer: Fix overflow in __rb_map_vma

An overflow occurred when performing the following calculation:

nr_pages = ((nr_subbufs + 1) << subbuf_order) - pgoff;

Add a check before the calculation to avoid this problem.

syzbot reported this as a slab-out-of-bounds in __rb_map_vma:
