CVE-2025-68815CVE-2025-68815
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: ets: Remove drr class from the active list if it changes to strict
Whenever a user issues an ets qdisc change command, transforming a
drr class into a strict one, the ets code isn't checking whether that
class was in the active list and removing it. This means that, if a
user changes a strict class (which was in the active list) back to a drr
one, that class will be added twice to the active list [1].
Doing so with the following commands:
tc qdisc add dev lo root handle 1: ets bands 2 strict 1
tc qdisc add dev lo parent 1:2 handle 20: \
tbf rate 8bit burst 100b latency 1s
tc filter add dev lo parent 1: basic classid 1:2
ping -c1 -W0.01 -s 56 127.0.0.1
tc qdisc change dev lo root handle 1: ets bands 2 strict 2
tc qdisc change dev lo root handle 1: ets bands 2 strict 1
ping -c1 -W0.01 -s 56 127.0.0.1
Will trigger the following splat with list debug turned on:
