net_sched: hfsc: Fix a UAF vulnerability in class handling
This patch fixes a Use-After-Free vulnerability in the HFSC qdisc class handling. The issue occurs due to a time-of-check/time-of-use condition in hfsc_change_class() when working with certain child qdiscs like netem or codel.
The vulnerability works as follows:
- hfsc_change_class() checks if a class has packets (q.qlen != 0)
- It then calls qdisc_peek_len(), which for certain qdiscs (e.g., codel, netem) might drop packets and empty the queue
- The code continues assuming the queue is still non-empty, adding the class to vttree
- This breaks HFSC scheduler assumptions that only non-empty classes are in vttree
- Later, when the class is destroyed, this can lead to a Use-After-Free
The fix adds a second queue length check after qdisc_peek_len() to verify the queue wasn't emptied.
