[Bug 3732] New: An integer underflow may occur due to arithmetic operation (unsigned subtraction) between values '0' and '67108864', where the first value comes from the expression 'h4 + b' and the second value comes from the expression '(1 << 26)'

            Bug ID: 3732
           Summary: An integer underflow may occur due to arithmetic
                    operation (unsigned subtraction) between values '0'
                    and '67108864', where the first value comes from the
                    expression 'h4 + b' and the second value comes from
                    the expression '(1 << 26)'

The expression g4 = h4 + b - (1 << 26); may cause an overflow if the
value of h4 + b is less than 67108864, which is equivalent to 1 << 26.
Overflow when working with unsigned numbers will lead to an incorrect
result, which may affect further operation of the algorithm.
