In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: sch_fq_codel: Do not call qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog during peek before restoring qlen
Whenever fq_codel drops packets during peek, it calls
qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog. An issue arises because it calls
qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog before it reincrements the qlen. If qlen drops
to zero, but peek returns an skb, the parent's qlen_notify callback will be
executed even though fq_codel still has 1 packet on the queue and, thus,
will mistakenly deactivate the parent's class causing issues like a recent
report [1] and a wild memory access in qfq:
