  3. CVE-2024-57953
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: rtc: tps6594: Fix integer overflow on 32bit systems The problem is this multiply in tps6594_rtc_set_offset() tmp = offset * TICKS_PER_HOUR; The "tmp" variable is an s64 but "offset" is a long in the (-277774)-277774 range. On 32bit systems a long can hold numbers up to approximately two billion. The number of TICKS_PER_HOUR is really large, (32768 * 3600) or roughly a hundred million. When you start multiplying by a hundred million it doesn't take long to overflow the two billion mark. Probably the safest way to fix this is to change the type of TICKS_PER_HOUR to long long because it's such a large number.

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: rtc: tps6594: Corregir desbordamiento de enteros en sistemas de 32 bits El problema es que esto se multiplica en tps6594_rtc_set_offset() tmp = offset * TICKS_PER_HOUR; La variable "tmp" es un s64 pero "offset" es un long en el rango (-277774)-277774. En sistemas de 32 bits, un long puede contener números de hasta aproximadamente dos mil millones. El número de TICKS_PER_HOUR es realmente grande, (32768 * 3600) o aproximadamente cien millones. Cuando comienza a multiplicar por cien millones, no tarda mucho en desbordar la marca de dos mil millones. Probablemente, la forma más segura de solucionar esto es cambiar el tipo de TICKS_PER_HOUR a long long porque es un número muy grande.
