Doc Text:	A flaw was found in the `net/shaper` component of the Linux kernel. This vulnerability occurs because the `net_shaper_nl_group_doit()` function does not properly handle duplicate leaf entries in a GROUP request. A local attacker could exploit this by supplying the same leaf handle multiple times, leading to a double free of the parent pointer. This memory corruption can result in a denial of service or potentially lead to further compromise of the system.	Story Points:	---

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-07-19 17:05:43 UTC

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

net: shaper: reject duplicate leaves in GROUP request

net_shaper_nl_group_doit() does not deduplicate NET_SHAPER_A_LEAVES
entries. When userspace supplies the same leaf handle twice, the same
old-parent pointer lands twice in old_nodes[]. The cleanup loop double
frees the parent. Of course the same parent may still be in old_nodes[]
twice if we are moving multiple of its leaves.

Note that this patch also implicitly fixes the fact that the
i >= leaves_count path forgets to set ret.
