From f20f9084ff23d722a80511a2ce7dc2ea50eb79ad Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sasha Levin Date: Wed, 3 Dec 2014 19:25:05 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] time: adjtimex: Validate the ADJ_FREQUENCY values commit 5e5aeb4367b450a28f447f6d5ab57d8f2ab16a5f upstream. Verify that the frequency value from userspace is valid and makes sense. Unverified values can cause overflows later on.
