NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream linux-4.9 package and not the linux-4.9 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

The alarm_timer_nsleep function in kernel/time/alarmtimer.c in the Linux kernel through 4.17.3 has an integer overflow via a large relative timeout because ktime_add_safe is not used.
