CVE-2025-39685

Description

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

comedi: pcl726: Prevent invalid irq number

The reproducer passed in an irq number(0x80008000) that was too large, which triggered the oob.

Added an interrupt number check to prevent users from passing in an irq number that was too large.

If it->options[1] is 31, then 1 << it->options[1] is still invalid because it shifts a 1-bit into the sign bit (which is UB in C). Possible solutions include reducing the upper bound on the it->options[1] value to 30 or lower, or using 1U << it->options[1].

The old code would just not attempt to request the IRQ if the options[1] value were invalid. And it would still configure the device without interrupts even if the call to request_irq returned an error. So it would be better to combine this test with the test below.
