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

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 ktimet type returned by functions like ktimeget. 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.
