netfilter: conntrack: clamp timeouts to INT_MAX
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When the conntracking code multiplies a timeout by HZ, it can overflow
from positive to negative; this causes it to instantly expire.  To
protect against this the multiplication is done in 64-bit so we can
prevent it from exceeding INT_MAX.
