4.19-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Alex Henrie <alexhenrie24@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit f31867d0d9d82af757c1e0178b659438f4c1ea3c ] The existing code incorrectly casted a negative value (the result of a subtraction) to an unsigned value without checking. For example, if /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/*/temp_prefered_lft was set to 1, the preferred lifetime would jump to 4 billion seconds. On my machine and network the shortest lifetime that avoided underflow was 3 seconds.
