Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's net/sched: sch qfq component can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation. When the plug qdisc is used as a class of the qfq qdisc, sending network packets triggers use-after-free in
qfq dequeue() due to the incorrect .peek handler of sch plug and lack of error checking in agg dequeue().Recommendations
Upgrade past commit 8fc134fee27f2263988ae38920bc03da416b03d8 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the
qfq dequeue() function until a patch is available. Restrict access to the vulnerable sch qfq component to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the sch plug qdisc as a class of the qfq qdisc until the issue is resolved.Exploit
