Title
net_sched: prio: fix a race in prio_tune()
Summary
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.

No victim action is involved.\nS:U - The corrupted `qlen`/`backlog` accounting and any resulting memory corruption stay within the kernel\u0027s own security authority; this is standard local kernel privilege escalation with no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary crossed.\nC:H - The double subtraction underflows the unsigned `q.qlen`, desynchronizing the qdisc tree so classes stay on parent active lists after their child qdiscs are freed, yielding a use-after-free on `struct Qdisc`/class objects that can be groomed into an arbitrary kernel-memory read.\nI:H - The same qlen-desync-to-UAF primitive gives control over reallocated heap objects and their function pointers and list heads, enabling arbitrary write and control-flow hijacking \u2014 the well-known net/sched local privilege escalation pattern.\nA:H - Even unweaponized, the underflowed `qlen` makes an empty qdisc appear to hold ~4 billion packets, causing dequeue-from-empty warnings, stalled transmit paths, and use-after-free oopses that panic the kernel."

"value": "AV:L - The vulnerable code is reached only via `RTM_NEWQDISC` netlink messages (`tc qdisc change ... prio bands N`) combined with locally enqueued traffic; no data from a remote peer reaches `prio_tune()`.\nAC:L - The attacker controls both sides of the race \u2014 they set the SFQ child\u0027s `perturb` period and drop-forcing `flows`/`depth` parameters, choose when to issue the band-shrinking change, and can retry unboundedly until the timer lands in the unlocked window between `sch_tree_unlock()` and `qdisc_put()`.\nPR:L - The tc/qdisc netlink path is gated only by `netlink_net_capable(skb, CAP_NET_ADMIN)` against the netns\u0027 own user namespace, so an unprivileged user obtains it with `unshare -Urn` and can also autoload `sch_prio`/`sch_sfq` from that context.\nUI:N - The attacker performs every step themselves \u2014 building the prio/SFQ hierarchy, generating the traffic, and triggering the reconfiguration. No victim action is involved.\nS:U - The corrupted `qlen`/`backlog` accounting and any resulting memory corruption stay within the kernel\u0027s own security authority; this is standard local kernel privilege escalation with no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary crossed.\nC:H - The double subtraction underflows the unsigned `q.qlen`, desynchronizing the qdisc tree so classes stay on parent active lists after their child qdiscs are freed, yielding a use-after-free on `struct Qdisc`/class objects that can be groomed into an arbitrary kernel-memory read.\nI:H - The same qlen-desync-to-UAF primitive gives control over reallocated heap objects and their function pointers and list heads, enabling arbitrary write and control-flow hijacking \u2014 the well-known net/sched local privilege escalation pattern.\nA:H - Even unweaponized, the underflowed `qlen` makes an empty qdisc appear to hold ~4 billion packets, causing dequeue-from-empty warnings, stalled transmit paths, and use-after-free oopses that panic the kernel."

Drag nodes to arrange them. Double-click a related vulnerability to open it, or a source to visit its link. The Physics button on the left tunes the layout and the simulation; the legend at the bottom left hides or shows nodes by kind and by sighting type.
Experimental. This forecast is provided for visualization only and may change without notice. Do not use it for operational decisions.
Forecast uses a logistic model when the trend is rising, or an exponential decay model when the trend is falling. Fitted via linearized least squares.

Nomenclature
- Seen: The vulnerability was mentioned, discussed, or observed by the user.
- Confirmed: The vulnerability has been validated from an analyst's perspective.
- Published Proof of Concept: A public proof of concept is available for this vulnerability.
- Exploited: The vulnerability was observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
- Patched: The vulnerability was observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
- Not exploited: The vulnerability was not observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
- Not confirmed: The user expressed doubt about the validity of the vulnerability.
- Not patched: The vulnerability was not observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
Vulnerability timeline
Sightings and recorded dates, grouped by day · UTC
How durations are calculated
Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.
Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.
