Subject: [PATCH v2 net 0/2] ptp: fix scaled_ppm_to_ppb() overflow bypassing the max_adj check
Date: Tue, 21 Jul 2026 01:42:54 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260721014256.1876-1-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.

Changes in v2:
- patch 1: unchanged, added Reviewed-by from Vadim Fedorenko.
- patch 2 (all from Simon Horman's review):
  - cast fd to unsigned before the shift in FD_TO_CLOCKID (UBSan)
  - only set the 64-bit test value on 64-bit builds (32-bit -Woverflow)
  - save and restore the clock frequency
  - skip instead of fail on -EBUSY (free-running clock)
