CVE-2026-98011

Przepełnienie bufora w jądrze Linuxa w hhf_change umożliwia atak DoS przez zablokowanie systemu.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/sched: hhf: clamp quantum in change and init paths hhf_change() accepts any quantum from userspace, including 1. With a crafted size table qdisc_pkt_len reaches ~2 GiB, so quantum=1 makes the deficit-refill loop spin ~2^31 times under the qdisc lock (a soft lockup / denial of service). Add max(256U, ...) in hhf_change() matching fq_codel_change(). Clamp hhf_init() to [256, 1<<20] matching the siblings, and remove the old fallback that only set quantum=256 on overflow. Conditions to recreate the bug: CONFIG_NET_SCH_HHF=y. Requires CAP_NET_ADMIN (namespace-local via unshare -Urn suffices). tc qdisc add dev dummy0 root hhf tc qdisc change dev dummy0 root hhf quantum 1 stab data 32768 size_log 15 cell_log 0
