Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: HID: core: fix shift-out-of-bounds in hid_report_raw_event Syzbot reported shift-out-of-bounds in hid_report_raw_event. microsoft 0003:045E:07DA.0001: hid_field_extract() called with n (128) > 32!

Fix this by adding a check on the size of the integer (unsigned n) in snto32(). To add support for n greater than 32 bits, set n to 32, if n is greater than 32.
