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

net: bridge: fix soft lockup in br_multicast_query_expired()

When set multicast_query_interval to a large value, the local variable
'time' in br_multicast_send_query() may overflow. If the time is smaller
than jiffies, the timer will expire immediately, and then call mod_timer()
again, which creates a loop and may trigger the following soft lockup
issue.

  watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#1 stuck for 221s! [rb_consumer:66]

This issue can be reproduced with:
  ip link add br0 type bridge
  echo 1 > /sys/class/net/br0/bridge/multicast_querier
  echo 0xffffffffffffffff >
  	/sys/class/net/br0/bridge/multicast_query_interval
  ip link set dev br0 up

The multicast_startup_query_interval can also cause this issue. Similar to
the commit 99b40610956a ("net: bridge: mcast: add and enforce query
interval minimum"), add check for the query interval maximum to fix this
issue.
