What it is

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

HID: wacom: Use ktime_t rather than int when dealing with timestamps

Code which interacts with timestamps needs to use the ktime_t type

returned by functions like ktime_get. The int type does not offer

enough space to store these values, and attempting to use it is a

recipe for problems. In this particular case, overflows would occur

when calculating/storing timestamps leading to incorrect values being

reported to userspace. In some cases these bad timestamps cause input

handling in userspace to appear hung.
