Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-90073)

CWE-ID: CWE-190 - Integer overflow

CVSSv4: 5.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:H/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


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

The vulnerability exists due to an integer overflow in the HHF queuing discipline's hhf_dequeue() function when configuring an HHF qdisc on a device with an oversized MTU. A local user can configure the HHF qdisc to trigger an infinite loop to cause a denial of service.

Exploitation requires CAP_NET_ADMIN in a user namespace and a device whose MTU plus hard-header length wraps psched_mtu() into the sign bit.
