CVE-2025-37858

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

fs/jfs: Prevent integer overflow in AG size calculation

The JFS filesystem calculates allocation group (AG) size using 1 << l2agsize in dbExtendFS(). When l2agsize exceeds 31 (possible with >2TB aggregates on 32-bit systems), this 32-bit shift operation causes undefined behavior and improper AG sizing.

On 32-bit architectures:

• Left-shifting 1 by 32+ bits results in 0 due to integer overflow
• This creates invalid AG sizes (0 or garbage values) in sbi->bmap->db_agsize
• Subsequent block allocations would reference invalid AG structures
• Could lead to:
  • Filesystem corruption during extend operations
  • Kernel crashes due to invalid memory accesses
  • Security vulnerabilities via malformed on-disk structures

Fix by casting to s64 before shifting: bmp->db_agsize = (s64)1 << l2agsize;

This ensures 64-bit arithmetic even on 32-bit architectures. The cast matches the data type of db_agsize (s64) and follows similar patterns in JFS block calculation code.
