CWE-ID: CWE-415 - Double Free

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to a double free in teql_master_xmit in the TEQL qdisc handling code when resetting a TEQL device with a lockless qdisc as root while racing with the datapath. A local user can trigger concurrent qdisc operations to cause a denial of service.

The issue can lead to kernel crashes. Exploitation requires local access to interact with the affected traffic control functionality.
