CVE-2026-64012CVE-2026-64012
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: sch_sfb: Replace direct dequeue call with peek and qdisc_dequeue_peeked
When sfb has children (eg qfq qdisc) whose peek() callback is
qdisc_peek_dequeued(), we could get a kernel panic. When the parent of such
qdiscs (eg illustrated in patch #3 as tbf) wants to retrieve an skb from
its child (sfb in this case), it will do the following:
1a. do a peek() - and when sensing there's an skb the child can offer, then
- the child in this case(sfb) calls its child's (qfq) peek.
qfq does the right thing and will return the gso_skb queue packet.
Note: if there wasnt a gso_skb entry then qfq will store it there.
1b. invoke a dequeue() on the child (sfb). And herein lies the problem.
- sfb will call the child's dequeue() which will essentially just
try to grab something of qfq's queue.
