Integer overflow with SET PX expiration

Description

SET with a very large PX expiration can cause an integer overflow when the expiration value is added to the current time.

127.0.0.1:6379> SET poc value PX 9223372036854775807
OK

127.0.0.1:6379> EXISTS poc
(integer) 0

127.0.0.1:6379> PTTL poc
(integer) -2

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The SET expiration calculation now checks for 64-bit overflow before adding the current time. Tests cover overflowing PX and EX values.

Changes

SET expiration overflow handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Validate and test expiration timestamp overflow
src/t_string.c, tests/unit/expire.tcl
The PX/EX expiration path rejects values that overflow when combined with the current time. Tests verify the expected error for maximum 64-bit PX and EX values.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Suggested reviewers: jsoref

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 2dc65

The implementation is covered for PX, but the EX regression test still misses the specific overflow path; updating its value is a small follow-up before relying on the full test coverage.

Use an EX value that reaches the new overflow check.

9223372036854775807 fails the existing seconds-to-milliseconds overflow check before the changed addition check runs. Use 9223372036854775 instead. It converts safely to milliseconds, then overflows when commandTimeSnapshot() is added.

This regression test is nested inside tags {"slow"}, while the PR CI jobs run ./runtest --tags -slow (.github/workflows/ci.yml:44,117,141). Nothing here is slow, so the normal CI paths skip the only test for this fix. Move this test outside the slow block (for example next to the existing expiration validation tests in tests/unit/expire.tcl) so every PR run exercises it.

Use an EX value that reaches timestamp-addition overflow.

9223372036854775807 is greater than LLONG_MAX / 1000, so it exercises seconds-to-milliseconds conversion overflow. It does not exercise overflow when the current time is added. Use 9223372036854775, which converts to a representable millisecond value before the timestamp addition.

-        catch {r set foo bar ex 9223372036854775807} e

This change seems unneeded, when running the proposed tests & the mentioned flow on unstable everything behaves correctly

  • Tests pass without the proposed change
  • The SET poc value PX 9223372036854775807 returns (error) ERR invalid expire time in 'set' command without the change
$src/valkey-cli -p 7799
127.0.0.1:7799> SET poc value PX 9223372036854775807

Can you double check which version of valkey you were running when observing this?
