[PATCH 1/4] cifs: Fix integer overflow while processing acregmax mount option

From: Murad Masimov
Date: Tue Mar 11 2025 - 10:26:37 EST


User-provided mount parameter acregmax of type u32 is intended to have
an upper limit, but before it is validated, the value is converted from
seconds to jiffies which can lead to an integer overflow.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

Fixes: 5780464614f6 ("cifs: Add new parameter "acregmax" for distinct file and directory metadata timeout")
