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

netfilter: nftables: avoid overflows in nft_hash_buckets()

Number of buckets being stored in 32bit variables, we have to
ensure that no overflows occur in nft_hash_buckets()

syzbot injected a size == 0x40000000 and reported:

UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in ./include/linux/log2.h:57:13
shift exponent 64 is too large for 64-bit type 'long unsigned int'
CPU: 1 PID: 29539 Comm: syz-executor.4 Not tainted 5.12.0-rc7-syzkaller #0
