CVE-2023-3611

HIGH

Linux Kernel 3.8-4.14.322 - Out-of-Bounds Write in sch_qfq Component

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

An out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the Linux kernel's net/sched: sch_qfq component can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation. The qfq_change_agg() function in net/sched/sch_qfq.c allows an out-of-bounds write because lmax is updated according to packet sizes without bounds checks. We recommend upgrading past commit 3e337087c3b5805fe0b8a46ba622a962880b5d64.
