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

net/sched: sch_fq: fix integer overflow of "credit"

if sch_fq is configured with "initial quantum" having values greater than
INT_MAX, the first assignment of "credit" does signed integer overflow to
a very negative value.
In this situation, the syzkaller script provided by Cristoph triggers the
CPU soft-lockup warning even with few sockets. It's not an infinite loop,
but "credit" wasn't probably meant to be minus 2Gb for each new flow.
Capping "initial quantum" to INT_MAX proved to fix the issue.

v2: validation of "initial quantum" is done in fq_policy, instead of open
    coding in fq_change() _ suggested by Jakub Kicinski
