Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: sch_dualpi2: Do not call qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog during peek before restoring qlen
Whenever dualpi2 drops packets during peek, it calls
qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog. An issue arises because it calls
qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog before it reincrements the qlen. If qlen drops
to zero, but peek returns an skb, the parent's qlen_notify callback will be
executed even though dualpi2 still has 1 packet on the queue and, thus,
mistakenly deactivates the parent's class which leads to a null-ptr-deref:

qlen is restored.
