In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: netem: fix queue limit check to include reordered packets
The queue limit check in netem_enqueue() uses q->t_len which only
counts packets in the internal tfifo. Packets placed in sch->q by
the reorder path (__qdisc_enqueue_head) are not counted, allowing
the total queue occupancy to exceed sch->limit under reordering.
Include sch->q.qlen in the limit check.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's networking scheduler (netem). The queue limit check in the netem_enqueue() function does not properly account for reordered packets, allowing the total queue occupancy to exceed its configured limit. This oversight can lead to a Denial of Service (DoS) condition, where network traffic processing is disrupted due to an overloaded queue.
