cifs: Fix integer overflow while processing actimeo mount option

Murad Masimov · smfrench · commit 64f690ee22c9 · 2025-03-13T08:41:28.000-05:00
User-provided mount parameter actimeo of type u32 is intended to have an upper limit, but before it is validated, the value is converted from seconds to jiffies which can lead to an integer overflow. Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE. Fixes: 6d20e84 ("cifs: add attribute cache timeout (actimeo) tunable") Signed-off-by: Murad Masimov <m.masimov@mt-integration.ru> Signed-off-by: Steve French <stfrench@microsoft.com>
