In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: cls_api: Don't replay RTM_GETCHAIN in tc_ctl_chain().
If a netlink socket sends RTM_GETCHAIN requests repeatedly
without recv()ing the responses, tc_ctl_chain() hogs CPU and
triggers Hung Task splat. [0]
As caught in the stack trace, netlink_attachskb() could confuse
tc_ctl_chain() by returning -EAGAIN when the userspace netlink
socket's receive buffer is full.
The replay: label exists since commit 32a4f5ecd738 ("net: sched:
introduce chain object to uapi") but was not used initially.
Since commit 9f407f1768d3 ("net: sched: introduce chain templates"),
the label is needed for RTM_NEWCHAIN because tcf_proto_lookup_ops()
may release RTNL to call request_module().
However, the replay logic is unnecessary for RTM_GETCHAIN.
Let's apply the replay logic only for RTM_NEWCHAIN.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A local user can cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by sending repeated netlink queries to inspect network traffic control chains without reading the responses. When the socket buffer fills, the kernel incorrectly retries the operation in an unbounded loop. This flaw can exhaust system CPU resources and cause the system to become unresponsive.
