CVE-2025-38083 MEDIUM

Published: 2025-06-20 | Last Modified: 2026-05-12 | Status: Modified

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net_sched: prio: fix a race in prio_tune() Gerrard Tai reported a race condition in PRIO, whenever SFQ perturb timer fires at the wrong time. The race is as follows: CPU 0 CPU 1 [1]: lock root [2]: qdisc_tree_flush_backlog() [3]: unlock root | | [5]: lock root | [6]: rehash | [7]: qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog() | [4]: qdisc_put() This can be abused to underflow a parent's qlen. Calling qdisc_purge_queue() instead of qdisc_tree_flush_backlog() should fix the race, because all packets will be purged from the qdisc before releasing the lock.

Additional Descriptions (1)

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: net_sched: prio: corrige una ejecución en prio_tune() Gerrard Tai informó una condición de ejecución en PRIO, siempre que el temporizador de perturbación SFQ se dispara en el momento equivocado. La ejecución es la siguiente: CPU 0 CPU 1 [1]: raíz de bloqueo [2]: qdisc_tree_flush_backlog() [3]: raíz de desbloqueo | | [5]: raíz de bloqueo | [6]: rehash | [7]: qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog() | [4]: qdisc_put() Esto se puede abusar para desbordar el qlen de un padre. Llamar a qdisc_purge_queue() en lugar de qdisc_tree_flush_backlog() debería corregir la ejecución, porque todos los paquetes se purgarán del qdisc antes de liberar el bloqueo.
