GHSA-GV5W-824R-R7XX
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-05-19 09:34 – Updated: 2025-09-19 21:31In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: fix lockdep splat in qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog()
qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog() is called with the qdisc lock held, not RTNL.
We must use qdisc_lookup_rcu() instead of qdisc_lookup()
syzbot reported:
WARNING: suspicious RCU usage 6.1.74-syzkaller #0 Not tainted
net/sched/sch_api.c:305 suspicious rcu_dereference_protected() usage!
