      <title>CVE-2026-98012 — net/sched: sfq: clamp quantum in change path</title>
      <link>https://db.gcve.eu/vuln/cve-2026-98012</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;net/sched: sfq: clamp quantum in change path&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;sfq_change() accepts any non-negative quantum (only rejects
(int)ctl-&amp;gt;quantum &amp;lt; 0). With a crafted size table qdisc_pkt_len reaches
~2 GiB, so quantum=1 makes the deficit-refill loop spin ~2^31 times
under the qdisc lock (a soft lockup / denial of service).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Add max(256U, ...) matching fq_codel_change(). Reject quantum &amp;gt; 1&amp;lt;&amp;lt;20
with -EINVAL, matching fq_codel_change() and the init clamp.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Conditions to recreate the bug:
  CONFIG_NET_SCH_SFQ=y. Requires CAP_NET_ADMIN (namespace-local via
  unshare -Urn suffices).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;tc qdisc add dev dummy0 root sfq
  tc qdisc change dev dummy0 root sfq quantum 1 stab data 32768 size_log 15 cell_log 0&lt;/p&gt;</description>
