Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Improper Validation of Specified Quantity in Input (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-90058)

CWE-ID: CWE-1284 - Improper Validation of Specified Quantity in Input

CVSSv4: 6.8 [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]


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

The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of user-supplied size table values in __qdisc_calculate_pkt_len() when processing a crafted TCA_STAB configuration that amplifies packet length values. A local user can configure a DRR or ETS qdisc with a crafted size table, set a tiny quantum, and send a small packet to cause a denial of service.

The issue requires NET_SCHED and either the DRR or ETS scheduler to be enabled.
