Justin Stitt ae5848cb5b ntp: Safeguard against time_constant overflow
commit 06c03c8edce333b9ad9c6b207d93d3a5ae7c10c0 upstream.

Using syzkaller with the recently reintroduced signed integer overflow
sanitizer produces this UBSAN report:

UBSAN: signed-integer-overflow in ../kernel/time/ntp.c:738:18
9223372036854775806 + 4 cannot be represented in type 'long'
Call Trace:
 handle_overflow+0x171/0x1b0
 __do_adjtimex+0x1236/0x1440
 do_adjtimex+0x2be/0x740

The user supplied time_constant value is incremented by four and then
clamped to the operating range.

Before commit eea83d896e ("ntp: NTP4 user space bits update") the user
supplied value was sanity checked to be in the operating range. That change
removed the sanity check and relied on clamping after incrementing which
does not work correctly when the user supplied value is in the overflow
zone of the '+ 4' operation.

The operation requires CAP_SYS_TIME and the side effect of the overflow is
NTP getting out of sync.

Similar to the fixups for time_maxerror and time_esterror, clamp the user
space supplied value to the operating range.

[ tglx: Switch to clamping ]

Fixes: eea83d896e ("ntp: NTP4 user space bits update")

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
