We report a bug found in v4.19-rc2 (v4.19-rc8 as well):
UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in drivers/block/floppy.c:1495:32

kernel config: https://kt0755.github.io/etc/config_v2-4.19
repro: https://kt0755.github.io/etc/repro.b4076.c

Analysis:

struct floppy_raw_cmd {
   unsigned char cmd_count;
   unsigned char cmd[16];
  ...
};

for (i=0; i<raw_cmd->cmd_count; i++)
    output_byte(raw_cmd->cmd[i])

In driver/block/floppy.c:1495, the code snippet above is trying to
write some bytes to the floppy disk controller, depending on "cmd_count".
As you see "struct floppy_raw_cmd" above, the size of array “cmd” is
fixed as 16.
The thing is, there is no boundary check for the index of array "cmd"
when this is used. Besides, "cmd_count" can be manipulated by raw_cmd_ioctl
which is derived from ioctl system call.
We observed that cmd_count is set at line 2540 (or 2111), but that is
after such a bug arose in our experiment. So by manipulating system call ioctl,
user program can have illegitimate memory access.

The following is a simple patch to stop this. (This might not be the
best.)

I think that's a decent way to fix it, but you probably want to
test your patch - it doesn't compile. Send something you've
tested that works.
