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 eea83d896e31 ("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.
