Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-05-20 16:02:01 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net_sched: qfq: Fix double list add in class with netem as child qdisc

As described in Gerrard's report [1], there are use cases where a netem
child qdisc will make the parent qdisc's enqueue callback reentrant.
In the case of qfq, there won't be a UAF, but the code will add the same
classifier to the list twice, which will cause memory corruption.

This patch checks whether the class was already added to the agg->active
list (cl_is_active) before doing the addition to cater for the reentrant
case.
