Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-04-01 16:05:05 UTC 
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

cifs: Fix integer overflow while processing acregmax mount option

User-provided mount parameter acregmax of type u32 is intended to have
an upper limit, but before it is validated, the value is converted from
seconds to jiffies which can lead to an integer overflow.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
