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

nfsd: validate nseconds in TIME_DELEG decode paths

The xdrgen-based TIME_DELEG_ACCESS and TIME_DELEG_MODIFY decode arms
store a raw uint32_t nseconds directly into tv_nsec without enforcing
nseconds < NSEC_PER_SEC. The legacy nfsd4_decode_nfstime4 has this
check but the TIME_DELEG paths do not. A malformed timespec can
propagate through notify_change() to disk.

Add range checks in both nfs4xdr.c (SETATTR path) and
nfs4callback.c (CB_GETATTR path).
