Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-09-25 10:51:47 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net/sched: drr: clamp quantum in change class

drr_change_class() rejects explicit quantum==0 but falls back to
psched_mtu() with no floor. With a crafted size table qdisc_pkt_len
reaches ~2 GiB, so quantum=1 (or a zero psched_mtu on a headerless
device) makes the deficit-refill loop spin under the qdisc lock.

Add clamp_t(u32, quantum, 256, 1<<20) after the zero reject and on the
fallback path. The explicit-zero reject is preserved.

Conditions to recreate the bug:
  CONFIG_NET_SCH_DRR=y. Requires CAP_NET_ADMIN (namespace-local via
  unshare -Urn suffices).

  tc qdisc add dev dummy0 root drr
  tc class add dev dummy0 parent 1: classid 1:1 drr quantum 1
