(In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: n ...)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/sched: fq_codel: clamp default quantum and mtu fq_codel_init() sets q->quantum = psched_mtu(qdisc_dev(sch)) without clamping. A device with a huge MTU (e.g. dummy with max_mtu == 0 accepting MTU 2147483634) makes psched_mtu() return 0x80000000, which overflows the signed flow->deficit to INT_MIN in fq_codel_dequeue(), causing an infinite loop and soft lockup. Emulate fq_codel_change() and constrain to [256, FQ_CODEL_QUANTUM_MAX]. The same unclamped psched_mtu() is assigned to q->cparams.mtu a bit below, and fq_codel_change() never updates it. codel_should_drop() tests "*backlog <= params->mtu"; with mtu == 0x80000000 (~2 GiB) and the default 32 MiB memory_limit, the test is always true, so CoDel is silently and completely disabled (no drops, no ECN). Declare a single clamped mtu and assign both q->quantum and q->cparams.mtu from it, which also removes the double psched_mtu() call. Conditions to recreate the bug
