How to fix?

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-uek-headers package and not the kernel-uek-headers package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:7 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.
