In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net_sched: sch_sfq: fix a potential crash on gso_skb handling
SFQ has an assumption of always being able to queue at least one packet.
However, after the blamed commit, sch->q.len can be inflated by packets
in sch->gso_skb, and an enqueue() on an empty SFQ qdisc can be followed
by an immediate drop.
Fix sfq_drop() to properly clear q->tail in this situation.
ip netns add lb
ip link add dev to-lb type veth peer name in-lb netns lb
ethtool -K to-lb tso off # force qdisc to requeue gso_skb
ip netns exec lb ethtool -K in-lb gro on # enable NAPI
ip link set dev to-lb up
ip -netns lb link set dev in-lb up

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's network scheduler, specifically within the Stochastic Fair Queueing (SFQ) mechanism. A local user could exploit this vulnerability by manipulating network packet queues, leading to an immediate drop of legitimate network traffic. This issue can result in a denial of service (DoS), making the system unresponsive.
