CVE-2024-46800

Linux Linux, linux kernel

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: sch/netem: fix use after free in netem_dequeue If netem_dequeue() enqueues packet to inner qdisc and that qdisc returns __NET_XMIT_STOLEN. The packet is dropped but qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog() is not called to update the parent's q.qlen, leading to the similar use-after-free as Commit e04991a48dbaf382 ("netem: fix return value if duplicate enqueue fails") Commands to trigger KASAN UaF: ip link add type dummy ip link set lo up ip link set dummy0 up tc qdisc add dev lo parent root handle 1: drr tc filter add dev lo parent 1:...
