Subject: [RFC][PATCH -reworked] time: Verify time values in adjtimex ADJ_SETOFFSET to avoid overflow
Date: Mon, 7 Dec 2015 12:11:58 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1449519118-4950-1-git-send-email-john.stultz@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CALAqxLU1c+hLHyKMgM4EFaNUN-Y2Kcj6O08DngcSpy1DZ_487Q@mail.gmail.com>
From: Sasha Levin <sasha.levin@oracle.com>
Make sure the tv_usec makes sense. We might multiply them later which can
cause an overflow and undefined behavior.
