Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-01-23 16:01:39 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net/sched: act_api: avoid dereferencing ERR_PTR in tcf_idrinfo_destroy

syzbot reported a crash in tc_act_in_hw() during netns teardown where
tcf_idrinfo_destroy() passed an ERR_PTR(-EBUSY) value as a tc_action
pointer, leading to an invalid dereference.

Guard against ERR_PTR entries when iterating the action IDR so teardown
does not call tc_act_in_hw() on an error pointer.
