CVE-2026-72390CVE-2026-72390
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: sch_teql: Introduce slaves_lock to avoid race condition and UAF
The teql master->slaves singly linked list is not protected against
multiple writes. It can be mod'ed concurently from teql_master_xmit(),
teql_dequeue(), teql_init() and teql_destroy() without holding any list
lock or RCU protection.
zdi-disclosures@trendmicro.com has demonstrated that the qdisc is freed
after an RCU grace period, but teql_master_xmit() running on another
CPU can still hold a stale pointer into the list, resulting in a
slab-use-after-free:
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in teql_master_xmit+0xf0f/0x16b0
Read of size 8 at addr ffff888013fb0440 by task poc/332
Freed 512-byte region [ffff888013fb0400, ffff888013fb0600) (kmalloc-512)
The fix?
Add a per-master slaves_lock spinlock that serializes all mutations of
master->slaves and the NEXT_SLAVE() links in teql_destroy() and
teql_qdisc_init(). teql_master_xmit() also takes the
