Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net_sched: sch_sfq: reject invalid perturb period
Gerrard Tai reported that SFQ perturb_period has no range check yet,
and this can be used to trigger a race condition fixed in a separate patch.
We want to make sure ctl->perturb_period * HZ will not overflow
and is positive.
tc qd add dev lo root sfq perturb -10 # negative value : error
Error: sch_sfq: invalid perturb period.
tc qd add dev lo root sfq perturb 1000000000 # too big : error
Error: sch_sfq: invalid perturb period.
tc qd add dev lo root sfq perturb 2000000 # acceptable value
