TBF is out of tokens so\n it schedules itself for later.\n\n* the second packet is sent and TBF tries to queues it to SFQ. qdisc\n qlen is now 2 and because the SFQ limit is 1 the packet is dropped\n by SFQ. At this point qlen is 1, and all of the SFQ slots are empty,\n however q->tail is not NULL.\n\nAt this point, assuming no more packets are queued, when sch_dequeue\nruns again it will decrement the qlen for the current empty slot\ncausing an underflow and the subsequent out of bounds access.", "affected": [ { "vendor": "Linux", "product": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "versions": [ { "version": "1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "e12f6013d0a69660e8b99bfe381b9546ae667328" }, { "version": "1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "1e6d9d87626cf89eeffb4d943db12cb5b10bf961" }, { "version": "1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "1b562b7f9231432da40d12e19786c1bd7df653a7" }, { "version": "1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "35d0137305ae2f97260a9047f445bd4434bd6cc7" }, { "version": "1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "833e9a1c27b82024db7ff5038a51651f48f05e5e" }, { "version": "1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "7d8947f2153ee9c5ab4cb17861a11cc45f30e8c4" }, { "version": "1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "7fefc294204f10a3405f175f4ac2be16d63f135e" }, { "version": "1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git", "lessThan": "10685681bafce6febb39770f3387621bf5d67d0b" } ] }, { "vendor": "Linux", "product": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "versions": [ { "version": "2.6.12", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThan": "2.6.12" }, { "version": "5.4.297", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.4.*" }, { "version": "5.10.239", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.10.*" }, { "version": "5.15.186", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.15.*" }, { "version": "6.1.129", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.1.*" }, { "version": "6.6.76", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*" }, { "version": "6.12.13", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*" }, { "version": "6.13.2", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.13.*" }, { "version": "6.14", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix", "lessThanOrEqual": "*" } ] } ] } } }
