From: Cong Wang <xiyou.wangcong@gmail.com> stable inclusion from stable-v5.10.237 commit 39b9095dd3b55d9b2743df038c32138efa34a9de category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/src-openeuler/kernel/issues/IC5D95 CVE: CVE-2025-37797 Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=... -------------------------------- [ Upstream commit 3df275ef0a6ae181e8428a6589ef5d5231e58b5c ] This patch fixes a Use-After-Free vulnerability in the HFSC qdisc class handling. The issue occurs due to a time-of-check/time-of-use condition in hfsc_change_class() when working with certain child qdiscs like netem or codel. The vulnerability works as follows: 1. hfsc_change_class() checks if a class has packets (q.qlen != 0) 2. It then calls qdisc_peek_len(), which for certain qdiscs (e.g., codel, netem) might drop packets and empty the queue 3. The code continues assuming the queue is still non-empty, adding the class to vttree 4. This breaks HFSC scheduler assumptions that only non-empty classes are in vttree 5. Later, when the class is destroyed, this can lead to a Use-After-Free The fix adds a second queue length check after qdisc_peek_len() to verify the queue wasn't emptied.
