The securelevels implementation in NetBSD 2.1 and earlier, and Linux 2.6.15 and earlier, allows local users to bypass time setting restrictions and set the clock backwards by setting the clock ahead to the maximum unixtime value (19 Jan 2038), which then wraps around to the minimum value (13 Dec 1901), which can then be set ahead to the desired time, aka "settimeofday() time wrap."

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old local privilege-boundary weakness in time controls. On affected NetBSD and Linux kernels, a local user could bypass securelevel time restrictions and move the system clock backward. That can undermine audit timelines, certificate validity assumptions, scheduled jobs, and forensic trust on legacy systems. Exposure appears limited to legacy hosts running NetBSD 2.1 or earlier, Linux 2.6.15 or earlier, or downstream builds retaining this behavior. The source bundle does not identify remote exposure, network-facing attack surface, or modern supported product versions. Treat this as a legacy-platform integrity issue, not a current internet-scale emergency. Prioritize if affected systems support compliance logging, authentication, financial workflows, or forensic evidence. Unsupported kernels should be upgraded, isolated, or retired. Mitigation focus: Inventory systems for NetBSD 2.1 or earlier and Linux 2.6.15 or earlier.; Check vendor advisories for supported kernel updates or backported fixes.; Restrict local shell access on any potentially affected legacy host..
