Description : In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net_sched: prio: fix a race in prio_tune()
Gerrard Tai reported a race condition in PRIO, whenever SFQ perturb timer
fires at the wrong time.
The race is as follows:
CPU 0 CPU 1
[1]: lock root
[2]: qdisc_tree_flush_backlog()
[3]: unlock root
|
| [5]: lock root
| [6]: rehash
| [7]: qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog()
|
[4]: qdisc_put()
This can be abused to underflow a parent’s qlen.
Calling qdisc_purge_queue() instead of qdisc_tree_flush_backlog()
should fix the race, because all packets will be purged from the qdisc
before releasing the lock.
Severity: 0.0 | NA
