CVE-2025-37913

HIGH

Linux Kernel 5.0.1-6.14.5 - Use-After-Free in QFQ Scheduler with Netem Child Qdisc

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

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.
