Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/sched: sch_qfq: Fix race condition on qfq_aggregate A race condition can occur when 'agg' is modified in qfq_change_agg (called during qfq_enqueue) while other threads access it concurrently. For example, qfq_dump_class may trigger a NULL dereference, and qfq_delete_class may cause a use-after-free. This patch addresses the issue by: 1. Moved qfq_destroy_class into the critical section. 2. Added sch_tree_lock protection to qfq_dump_class and qfq_dump_class_stats.

• linux linux kernel (>= 3.8 < 5.4.297) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.5 < 5.10.241) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.11 < 5.15.190) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.16 < 6.1.147) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.2 < 6.6.100) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.7 < 6.12.40) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.13 < 6.15.8) • linux linux kernel 6.16 • debian debian linux 11.0
