HIGHCVSS 7.8/10EPSS 0.27%

Last modified

CVE-2023-3611 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.8/10 on the CVSS scale. An out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the Linux kernel's net/sched: sch_qfq component can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation. The qfq_change_agg() function in net/sched/sch_qfq.c allows an out-of-bounds write because lmax is updated according to packet sizes without bounds checks. We recommend upgrading past commit 3e337087c3b5805fe0b8a46ba622a962880b5d64.. EPSS estimates a 0.27% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
