In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: taprio: Limit TCA_TAPRIO_ATTR_SCHED_CYCLE_TIME to INT_MAX.
syzkaller found zero division error [0] in div_s64_rem() called from
get_cycle_time_elapsed(), where sched->cycle_time is the divisor.
We have tests in parse_taprio_schedule() so that cycle_time will never
be 0, and actually cycle_time is not 0 in get_cycle_time_elapsed().
The problem is that the types of divisor are different; cycle_time is
s64, but the argument of div_s64_rem() is s32.
syzkaller fed this input and 0x100000000 is cast to s32 to be 0.
@TCA_TAPRIO_ATTR_SCHED_CYCLE_TIME={0xc, 0x8, 0x100000000}
We use s64 for cycle_time to cast it to ktime_t, so let's keep it and
set max for cycle_time.
While at it, we prevent overflow in setup_txtime() and add another
test in parse_taprio_schedule() to check if cycle_time overflows.
Also, we add a new tdc test case for this issue.
