When covert the usec to nsec, it will multiple 1000, it maybe
overflow and lead an undefined behavior.
For example, users may input an negative tv_usec values when
call adjtimex syscall, then multiple 1000 maybe overflow it
to a positive and legal number.
So, we should validate the usec before coverted it to nsec.
Looking deeper before applying it. That change is wrong for two reasons:
1) The value is already validated in timekeeping_validate_timex()
2) The tv_usec value can legitimately be >= USEC_PER_SEC if the ADJ_NANO
mode bit is set. See timekeeping_validate_timex() and the code you
actually modified:
if (txc->modes & ADJ_SETOFFSET) {delta.tv_nsec *= 1000;
struct timespec64 delta;
+
+ if (txc->time.tv_usec < 0 || txc->time.tv_usec >= USEC_PER_SEC)
+ return -EINVAL;
delta.tv_sec = txc->time.tv_sec;
delta.tv_nsec = txc->time.tv_usec;
if (!(txc->modes & ADJ_NANO))
The multiplication is conditional ....
