Title
posix-clock: Fix missing timespec64 check in pc_clock_settime()
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: posix-clock: Fix missing timespec64 check in pc_clock_settime() As Andrew pointed out, it will make sense that the PTP core checked timespec64 struct's tv_sec and tv_nsec range before calling ptp->info->settime64(). As the man manual of clock_settime() said, if tp.tv_sec is negative or tp.tv_nsec is outside the range [0..999,999,999], it should return EINVAL, which include dynamic clocks which handles PTP clock, and the condition is consistent with timespec64_valid(). As Thomas suggested, timespec64_valid() only check the timespec is valid, but not ensure that the time is in a valid range, so check it ahead using timespec64_valid_strict() in pc_clock_settime() and return -EINVAL if not valid. There are some drivers that use tp->tv_sec and tp->tv_nsec directly to write registers without validity checks and assume that the higher layer has checked it, which is dangerous and will benefit from this, such as hclge_ptp_settime(), igb_ptp_settime_i210(), _rcar_gen4_ptp_settime(), and some drivers can remove the checks of itself.

There is no network, adjacent, or remote-peer path into `pc_clock_settime()`.\nAC:L - A single syscall with e.g. `tv_nsec = 1000000000` or `tv_sec = -1` deterministically drives the unvalidated value into the driver callback \u2014 no race, no timing window, no memory-layout or victim-state dependency, and it can be repeated at will.\nPR:L - No capability check exists anywhere on the path; the sole gate is `FMODE_WRITE` on a PTP character device, which is routinely granted to non-root PTP/TSN daemons (linuxptp running with dropped privileges), containers, and appliance workloads in telecom, automotive and cloud deployments. An ordinary unprivileged user holding such a descriptor fully controls the trigger.\nUI:N - The attacker performs the whole sequence on a descriptor they opened themselves with one syscall. No mount, file open, or other action by another user is required.\nS:U - The corrupted state is the kernel\u0027s own PTP/posix-clock objects and the NIC\u0027s PHC managed by the same kernel security authority. No VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:N - The defect is a missing input-validation check on a value flowing inward to hardware registers and time arithmetic; nothing is read out of bounds, no freed object is reused, and no kernel memory is copied back to userspace, so no read primitive exists.\nI:H - The attacker gains full, arbitrary control over the value programmed into the PTP hardware clock \u2014 the authoritative time base for all hardware timestamping on the interface, for PTP/gPTP synchronization of downstream nodes, and for TSN taprio/ETF gate schedules \u2014 and drivers such as `hclge_ptp_settime()`, `igb_ptp_settime_i210()` and `_rcar_gen4_ptp_settime()` commit it to registers with no checks of their own. Malicious modification of that specific state is a direct, serious integrity consequence for the impacted component, and it also drives undefined arithmetic (`timespec64_to_ns()` overflow, `timecounter_init()`, `do_div()` in `vsc9959_new_base_time()`) in code that assumed a validated input.\nA:H - Programming an out-of-range or negative time into the PHC produces a total, persistent loss of hardware timestamping, PTP synchronization and time-aware-shaper transmission on that interface \u2014 TSN gate schedules recomputed from the poisoned base never open, and the condition can be re-triggered at will so the service cannot recover. The unvalidated value additionally reaches out-of-spec hardware register writes and overflowing kernel time arithmetic on paths that assume validated input."

As Thomas suggested, timespec64_valid()\nonly check the timespec is valid, but not ensure that the time is\nin a valid range, so check it ahead using timespec64_valid_strict()\nin pc_clock_settime() and return -EINVAL if not valid.\n\nThere are some drivers that use tp-\u003etv_sec and tp-\u003etv_nsec directly to\nwrite registers without validity checks and assume that the higher layer\nhas checked it, which is dangerous and will benefit from this, such as\nhclge_ptp_settime(), igb_ptp_settime_i210(), _rcar_gen4_ptp_settime(),\nand some drivers can remove the checks of itself."

There is no network, adjacent, or remote-peer path into `pc_clock_settime()`.\nAC:L - A single syscall with e.g. `tv_nsec = 1000000000` or `tv_sec = -1` deterministically drives the unvalidated value into the driver callback \u2014 no race, no timing window, no memory-layout or victim-state dependency, and it can be repeated at will.\nPR:L - No capability check exists anywhere on the path; the sole gate is `FMODE_WRITE` on a PTP character device, which is routinely granted to non-root PTP/TSN daemons (linuxptp running with dropped privileges), containers, and appliance workloads in telecom, automotive and cloud deployments. An ordinary unprivileged user holding such a descriptor fully controls the trigger.\nUI:N - The attacker performs the whole sequence on a descriptor they opened themselves with one syscall. No mount, file open, or other action by another user is required.\nS:U - The corrupted state is the kernel\u0027s own PTP/posix-clock objects and the NIC\u0027s PHC managed by the same kernel security authority. No VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:N - The defect is a missing input-validation check on a value flowing inward to hardware registers and time arithmetic; nothing is read out of bounds, no freed object is reused, and no kernel memory is copied back to userspace, so no read primitive exists.\nI:H - The attacker gains full, arbitrary control over the value programmed into the PTP hardware clock \u2014 the authoritative time base for all hardware timestamping on the interface, for PTP/gPTP synchronization of downstream nodes, and for TSN taprio/ETF gate schedules \u2014 and drivers such as `hclge_ptp_settime()`, `igb_ptp_settime_i210()` and `_rcar_gen4_ptp_settime()` commit it to registers with no checks of their own. Malicious modification of that specific state is a direct, serious integrity consequence for the impacted component, and it also drives undefined arithmetic (`timespec64_to_ns()` overflow, `timecounter_init()`, `do_div()` in `vsc9959_new_base_time()`) in code that assumed a validated input.\nA:H - Programming an out-of-range or negative time into the PHC produces a total, persistent loss of hardware timestamping, PTP synchronization and time-aware-shaper transmission on that interface \u2014 TSN gate schedules recomputed from the poisoned base never open, and the condition can be re-triggered at will so the service cannot recover. The unvalidated value additionally reaches out-of-spec hardware register writes and overflowing kernel time arithmetic on paths that assume validated input."
