Subject[PATCH 3.4 089/176] time: adjtimex: Validate the ADJ_FREQUENCY values
Date
From: Sasha Levin <sasha.levin@oracle.com>

3.4.107-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------


commit 5e5aeb4367b450a28f447f6d5ab57d8f2ab16a5f upstream.

Verify that the frequency value from userspace is valid and makes sense.

Unverified values can cause overflows later on.
