CVE-2026-98009informação

Sumário

de MITRE • 25/09/2026

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net/sched: ets: clamp quantum in parse and fallback paths

ets_qdisc_change() falls back to psched_mtu() with no floor for bands without an explicit quantum. With a crafted size table qdisc_pkt_len reaches ~2 GiB, so a zero psched_mtu on a headerless device makes the deficit-refill loop spin under the qdisc lock.

Move the floor into ets_quantum_parse() so explicitly configured quanta are also clamped to [256, 1<<20], not just the fallback path.

Conditions to recreate the bug: CONFIG_NET_SCH_ETS=y. Requires CAP_NET_ADMIN (namespace-local via unshare -Urn suffices).

tc qdisc add dev dummy0 root ets bands 3 strict 2 quanta 1 1
