Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.
1) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-90075)
CWE-ID: CWE-190 - Integer overflow
CVSSv4: 6.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a local privileged user to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to an integer overflow in the fq_codel queueing discipline initialization when initializing fq_codel on a device whose MTU causes psched_mtu() to wrap into the sign bit. A local privileged user can configure a device with an oversized MTU to cause a denial of service.
