"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: Always pass notifications when child class becomes empty
Certain classful qdiscs may invoke their classes' dequeue handler on
an enqueue operation. This may unexpectedly empty the child qdisc and
thus make an in-flight class passive via qlen_notify(). Most qdiscs do
not expect such behaviour at this point in time and may re-activate
the class eventually anyways which will lead to a use-after-free.  The
referenced fix commit attempted to fix this behavior for the HFSC case
by moving the backlog accounting around, though this turned out to be
incomplete since the parent's parent may run into the issue too. The
following reproducer demonstrates this use-after-free:      tc qdisc
add dev lo root handle 1: drr     tc filter add dev lo parent 1: basic
classid 1:1     tc class add dev lo parent 1: classid 1:1 drr     tc
qdisc add dev lo parent 1:1 handle 2: hfsc def 1     tc class add dev
lo parent 2: classid 2:1 hfsc rt m1 8 d 1 m2 0     tc qdisc add dev lo
parent 2:1 handle 3: netem     tc qdisc add dev lo parent 3:1 handle
4: blackhole      echo 1 | socat -u STDIN UDP4-DATAGRAM:127.0.0.1:8888
tc class delete dev lo classid 1:1     echo 1 | socat -u STDIN
UDP4-DATAGRAM:127.0.0.1:8888  Since backlog accounting issues leading
to a use-after-frees on stale class pointers is a recurring pattern at
this point, this patch takes a different approach. Instead of trying
to fix the accounting, the patch ensures that
qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog always calls qlen_notify when the child
qdisc is empty. This solves the problem because deletion of qdiscs
always involves a call to qdisc_reset() and / or qdisc_purge_queue()
which ultimately resets its qlen to 0 thus causing the following
qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog() to report to the parent. Note that this
may call qlen_notify on passive classes multiple times. This is not a
problem after the recent patch series that made all the classful
qdiscs qlen_notify() handlers idempotent.
