Also, INT_MAX ms overflows int NEIGH_VAR()\nwhen HZ > 1000 (Alpha, MIPS), and passing a negative integer to\nqueue_delayed_work(unsigned long delay) causes sign extension,\nwhich wraps around the expiry time to the past, resulting in it\nbeing handled as 0 delay in the timer wheel.\n\nLet's use NLA_POLICY_FULL_RANGE() and limit the max to 1 day.\n\nThe same max check is applied to sysctl as well.\n\nNote that this controls the probe interval for NTF_MANAGED\nentries, so the max of 1 day is unlikely to break any\ndeployments.\n\n## Remediation\n\nRefer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.","depth":"sunlit","depthScore":3,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":2.8,"likelihood":0,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
