Subject: [PATCH 2/2] lib/bch: fix signed shift overflow in build_mod8_tables
Date: Wed, 18 Mar 2026 07:48:06 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260318074806.16527-3-objecting@objecting.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260318074806.16527-1-objecting@objecting.org>

Cast loop variable to unsigned int before left-shifting to avoid
undefined behavior when i >= 128 and b == 3 (i << 24 overflows
signed int).
