Subject[PATCH resend] rtc: Fix alarm rollover when day or month is out-of-range
From: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk>
Date: Thu, 29 Dec 2011 16:41:56 +0100

Commit f44f7f96a20a ('RTC: Initialize kernel state from RTC')
introduced a potential infinite loop. If an alarm time contains a
wildcard month and an invalid day (> 31), or a wildcard year and an
invalid month (>= 12), the loop searching for the next matching date
will never terminate. Treat the invalid values as wildcards.

Fixes <http://bugs.debian.org/646429>, <http://bugs.debian.org/653331>

Old advice. :)

Here's a patch that was sent to the rtc-linux list, but I can't
seem to find it with search.gmane.org.
