CVE-2026-74267

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/sched: sch_codel: Do not call qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog during peek before restoring qlen Whenever 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 codel still has 1 packet on the queue and, thus, will mistakenly deactivate the parent's class causing issues like a wild memory access when qfq has codel as a child: [ 36.339843][ T370] Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xfbd59c0000000024: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN NOPTI [ 36.340408][ T370] KASAN: maybe wild-memory-access in range [0xdead000000000120-0xdead000000000127] [ 36.340737][ T370] CPU: 2 UID: 0 PID: 370 Comm: tc Not tainted 7.1.0-rc5-00287-g66e13b626592 #87 PREEMPT(full) [ 36.341113][ T370] Hardware name: Bochs Bochs, BIOS Bochs 01/01/2011 [ 36.341357][ T370] RIP: 0010:qfq_deactivate_agg (include/linux/list.h:1029 (discriminator 2) include/linux/list.h:1043 (discriminator 2) net/sched/sch_qfq.c:1369 (discriminator 2) net/sched/sch_qfq.c:1395 (discriminator 2)) sch_qfq [ 36.342221][ T370] RSP: 0018:ffff8881100ef370 EFLAGS: 00010216 [ 36.342422][ T370] RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffff8881058a9568 RCX: dffffc0000000000 [ 36.342664][ T370] RDX: 1ffff11021064dc3 RSI: ffff888108326e00 RDI: dffffc0000000000 [ 36.342905][ T370] RBP: ffff8881058a8280 R08: dead000000000122 R09: 1bd5a00000000024 [ 36.343140][ T370] R10: fffffbfff2940329 R11: fffffbfff2940329 R12: 0000000000000000 [ 36.343383][ T370] R13: dead000000000100 R14: ffff8881058a9580 R15: ffff8881058a9578 [ 36.343631][ T370] FS: 00007fc04b0ca780(0000) GS:ffff888184fef000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 [ 36.343911][ T370] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 [ 36.344116][ T370] CR2: 0000557c02c02000 CR3: 000000010e0ba000 CR4: 0000000000750ef0 [ 36.344359][ T370] PKRU: 55555554 [ 36.344481][ T370] Call Trace: ...
