CVE-2026-43071

EUVD-2026-27375
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

dcache: Limit the minimal number of bucket to two

There is an OOB read problem on dentry_hashtable when user sets
'dhash_entries=1':
  BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffff888b30b774b0
  #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode
  #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page
  Oops: Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI
  RIP: 0010:__d_lookup+0x56/0x120
   Call Trace:
    d_lookup.cold+0x16/0x5d

    kernel_init+0x2a/0x260

There will be only one bucket in dentry_hashtable when dhash_entries is
set as one, and d_hash_shift is calculated as 32 by dcache_init(). Then,
following process will access more than one buckets(which memory region
is not allocated) in dentry_hashtable:
 d_lookup
  b = d_hash(hash)
    dentry_hashtable + ((u32)hashlen >> d_hash_shift)
    // The C standard defines the behavior of right shift amounts
    // exceeding the bit width of the operand as undefined. The
    // result of '(u32)hashlen >> d_hash_shift' becomes 'hashlen',
    // so 'b' will point to an unallocated memory region.
  hlist_bl_for_each_entry_rcu(b)
   hlist_bl_first_rcu(head)
    h->first  // read OOB!

Fix it by limiting the minimal number of dentry_hashtable bucket to two,
so that 'd_hash_shift' won't exceeds the bit width of type u32.
