In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: um:
time-travel: fix time corruption In ‘basic’ time-travel mode (without
=inf-cpu or =ext), we still get timer interrupts. These can happen at
arbitrary points in time, i.e. while in timer_read(), which pushes time
forward just a little bit. Then, if we happen to get the interrupt after
calculating the new time to push to, but before actually finishing that,
the interrupt will set the time to a value that’s incompatible with the
forward, and we’ll crash because time goes backwards when we do the
forwarding. Fix this by reading the time_travel_time, calculating the
adjustment, and doing the adjustment all with interrupts disabled.
