From 1751fde0bb621f9d05dc76c7a0045b70b88918c2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sasha Levin Date: Wed, 3 Dec 2014 19:22:48 -0500 Subject: time: settimeofday: Validate the values of tv from user commit 6ada1fc0e1c4775de0e043e1bd3ae9d065491aa5 upstream. An unvalidated user input is multiplied by a constant, which can result in an undefined behaviour for large values. While this is validated later, we should avoid triggering undefined behaviour.
