kernel: out-of-bounds write in qfq_change_class function

An out-of-bounds memory access flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s traffic control QoS subsystem in how a user triggers the qfqchangeclass function with an incorrect MTU value of the network device used as lmax. This flaw allows a local user to crash or potentially escalate their privileges on t...

The vulnerability of the qfq_change_class() function in Linux operating systems allows a perpetrator to compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and accessibility of protected information.

The vulnerability of the qfqchangeclass function in Linux operating systems stems from the operation of storing values outside of the buffer in memory when processing the QFQMINLMAX value. Exploiting this vulnerability could allow an attacker to compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and...
