Title
i2c: dev: prevent integer overflow in I2C_TIMEOUT ioctl
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: i2c: dev: prevent integer overflow in I2C_TIMEOUT ioctl While fuzzing with Syzkaller, a persistent `schedule_timeout: wrong timeout value` warning was observed, accompanied by SMBus controller state machine corruption. The I2C_TIMEOUT ioctl accepts a user-provided timeout in multiples of 10 ms. The user argument is checked against INT_MAX, but it is subsequently multiplied by 10 before being passed to msecs_to_jiffies(). A malicious user can pass a large value (e.g., 429496729) that passes the `arg > INT_MAX` check but overflows when multiplied by 10. This results in a truncated 32-bit unsigned value that bypasses the internal `(int)m < 0` check in `msecs_to_jiffies()`. The truncated value is then assigned to `client->adapter->timeout` (a signed 32-bit int), which is reinterpreted as a negative number. When passed to wait_for_completion_timeout(), this negative value undergoes sign extension to a 64-bit unsigned long, triggering the `schedule_timeout` warning and causing premature returns. This leaves the SMBus state machine in an unrecoverable state, constituting a local Denial of Service (DoS). Fix this by bounding the user argument to `INT_MAX / 10`. [wsa: move the comment as well]

The user argument is checked against INT_MAX, but it is\\nsubsequently multiplied by 10 before being passed to msecs_to_jiffies().\\n\\nA malicious user can pass a large value (e.g., 429496729) that passes\\nthe `arg \u003e INT_MAX` check but overflows when multiplied by 10. This\\nresults in a truncated 32-bit unsigned value that bypasses the\\ninternal `(int)m \u003c 0` check in `msecs_to_jiffies()`.\\n\\nThe truncated value is then assigned to `client-\u003eadapter-\u003etimeout`\\n(a signed 32-bit int), which is reinterpreted as a negative number.\\nWhen passed to wait_for_completion_timeout(), this negative value\\nundergoes sign extension to a 64-bit unsigned long, triggering the\\n`schedule_timeout` warning and causing premature returns. This leaves\\nthe SMBus state machine in an unrecoverable state, constituting a\\nlocal Denial of Service (DoS).\\n\\nFix this by bounding the user argument to `INT_MAX / 10`.\\n\\n[wsa: move the comment as well]\"}],\"affected\":[{\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\",\"affectedData\":[{\"vendor\":\"Linux\",\"product\":\"Linux\",\"defaultStatus\":\"unaffected\",\"programFiles\":[\"drivers/i2c/i2c-dev.c\"],\"repo\":\"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\",\"versions\":[{\"version\":\"cd97f39b7cdf1c8a9c9f52865eec795b7f0c811d\",\"lessThan\":\"e9ffd5f5050fbb199d270a85614cd27ebed6fbac\",\"versionType\":\"git\",\"status\":\"affected\"},{\"version\":\"cd97f39b7cdf1c8a9c9f52865eec795b7f0c811d\",\"lessThan\":\"0b88ecfbc9dc33b4db8836c37b50cf174e6c0691\",\"versionType\":\"git\",\"status\":\"affected\"},{\"version\":\"cd97f39b7cdf1c8a9c9f52865eec795b7f0c811d\",\"lessThan\":\"943e318eedbeaeea08ece3f5dd44c982f4ed2ef5\",\"versionType\":\"git\",\"status\":\"affected\"},{\"version\":\"cd97f39b7cdf1c8a9c9f52865eec795b7f0c811d\",\"lessThan\":\"aa6ef734016912653a909477fb30aeb66c98b3a2\",\"versionType\":\"git\",\"status\":\"affected\"},{\"version\":\"cd97f39b7cdf1c8a9c9f52865eec795b7f0c811d\",\"lessThan\":\"ff02add34ffd03449b8115904ebe2ec4fed022d4\",\"versionType\":\"git\",\"status\":\"affected\"},{\"version\":\"cd97f39b7cdf1c8a9c9f52865eec795b7f0c811d\",\"lessThan\":\"ffbcf31f032eb454ebfd29309f51366fe57f4ac4\",\"versionType\":\"git\",\"status\":\"affected\"},{\"version\":\"cd97f39b7cdf1c8a9c9f52865eec795b7f0c811d\",\"lessThan\":\"4576621dc6577f21a032acfd16c3ad61907a5ea7\",\"versionType\":\"git\",\"status\":\"affected\"},{\"version\":\"cd97f39b7cdf1c8a9c9f52865eec795b7f0c811d\",\"lessThan\":\"617eb7c0961a8dfcfc811844a6396e406b2923ea\",\"versionType\":\"git\",\"status\":\"affected\"}]},{\"vendor\":\"Linux\",\"product\":\"Linux\",\"defaultStatus\":\"affected\",\"programFiles\":[\"drivers/i2c/i2c-dev.c\"],\"repo\":\"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\",\"versions\":[{\"version\":\"2.6.29\",\"status\":\"affected\"},{\"version\":\"0\",\"lessThan\":\"2.6.29\",\"versionType\":\"semver\",\"status\":\"unaffected\"},{\"version\":\"5.10.259\",\"lessThanOrEqual\":\"5.10.*\",\"versionType\":\"semver\",\"status\":\"unaffected\"},{\"version\":\"5.15.210\",\"lessThanOrEqual\":\"5.15.*\",\"versionType\":\"semver\",\"status\":\"unaffected\"},{\"version\":\"6.1.176\",\"lessThanOrEqual\":\"6.1.*\",\"versionType\":\"semver\",\"status\":\"unaffected\"},{\"version\":\"6.6.143\",\"lessThanOrEqual\":\"6.6.*\",\"versionType\":\"semver\",\"status\":\"unaffected\"},{\"version\":\"6.12.94\",\"lessThanOrEqual\":\"6.12.*\",\"versionType\":\"semver\",\"status\":\"unaffected\"},{\"version\":\"6.18.36\",\"lessThanOrEqual\":\"6.18.*\",\"versionType\":\"semver\",\"status\":\"unaffected\"},{\"version\":\"7.0.13\",\"lessThanOrEqual\":\"7.0.*\",\"versionType\":\"semver\",\"status\":\"unaffected\"},{\"version\":\"7.1\",\"lessThanOrEqual\":\"*\",\"versionType\":\"original_commit_for_fix\",\"status\":\"unaffected\"}]}]}],\"metrics\":{},\"references\":[{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0b88ecfbc9dc33b4db8836c37b50cf174e6c0691\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4576621dc6577f21a032acfd16c3ad61907a5ea7\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/617eb7c0961a8dfcfc811844a6396e406b2923ea\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/943e318eedbeaeea08ece3f5dd44c982f4ed2ef5\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/aa6ef734016912653a909477fb30aeb66c98b3a2\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e9ffd5f5050fbb199d270a85614cd27ebed6fbac\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ff02add34ffd03449b8115904ebe2ec4fed022d4\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ffbcf31f032eb454ebfd29309f51366fe57f4ac4\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\"}]}}"
