In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ata: sata_dwc_460ex: fix infinite loop in NCQ tag completion bit-scanning
The hand-rolled bit-scanning loop in the NCQ completion path has an
infinite loop bug. When tag_mask has only high bits set (e.g.
0x80000000), the inner while loop left-shifts tag_mask until it
overflows to 0. At that point !(0 & 1) is always true and 0 <<= 1
stays 0, causing an infinite loop in hardirq context with a spinlock
held.
Replace the open-coded bit-scanning with __ffs() which correctly
finds the least significant set bit and is bounded by the width of
the argument.
