Subject: [PATCH net 0/2] ptp: fix scaled_ppm_to_ppb() overflow bypassing the max_adj check
Date: Sun, 12 Jul 2026 04:09:20 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260712040922.6403-1-deepshah146@gmail.com> (raw)

ptp_clock_adjtime() validates an ADJ_FREQUENCY request by converting
tx->freq to ppb and comparing it against ops->max_adj. On 64-bit systems
that conversion can overflow s64 and wrap the result back into range, so
a crafted tx->freq bypasses the check and reaches ->adjfine() unclamped.

Patch 1 rejects the overflow in ptp_clock_adjtime().
Patch 2 adds a regression test that crafts struct timex.freq directly
(testptp's int-ppb path cannot express the value) and confirms it is
rejected with -ERANGE.

Deep Shah (2):
  ptp: reject frequency adjustments that overflow scaled_ppm_to_ppb()
  selftests: ptp: add a regression test for the frequency adjustment
    overflow
