In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:mptcp: Correctly set DATA_FIN timeout when number of retransmits is largeSyzkaller with UBSAN uncovered a scenario where a large number of
DATA_FIN retransmits caused a shift-out-of-bounds in the DATA_FIN
timeout calculation:================================================================================
UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in net/mptcp/protocol.c:470:29
shift exponent 32 is too large for 32-bit type 'unsigned int'

 </TASK>This change limits the maximum timeout by limiting the size of the
shift, which keeps all intermediate values in-bounds.
