Summary

In the Linux kernel, the ETS queuing discipline (net_sched: ets) has a double list add bug when netem is a child qdisc. Reentrancy in enqueue causes the class to be added twice to the active_list, leading to memory corruption.

Risk Assessment

This vulnerability could lead to kernel memory corruption, potentially causing system crash or privilege escalation.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that checks whether the class was already added to the active_list before adding.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net_sched: ets: Fix double list add in class with netem as child qdisc As described in Gerrard's report [1], there are use cases where a netem child qdisc will make the parent qdisc's enqueue callback reentrant. In the case of ets, there won't be a UAF, but the code will add the same classifier to the list twice, which will cause memory corruption. In addition to checking for qlen being zero, this patch checks whether the class was already added to the active_list (cl_is_active) before doing the addition to cater for the reentrant case.
