u32_change() copies the user-provided tc_u32_sel.offshift (unsigned char,
0-255) into the kernel knode object without bounds validation. When a
packet later hits u32_classify() with TC_U32_VAROFFSET set, it evaluates
`ntohs(offmask & *data) >> offshift` where the left operand is a 16-bit
value promoted to a 32-bit int. Any offshift >= 32 is undefined behavior
per C11 §6.5.7, triggerable by an unprivileged user via user/network
namespaces.
UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in net/sched/cls_u32.c:236:43
shift exponent 32 is too large for 32-bit type int
Fix this by rejecting offshift >= 16 during filter creation in
u32_change().
Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
