Description Cathy Hu 2023-09-07 09:12:21 UTC 
CVE-2023-4623

A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's net/sched: sch_hfsc (HFSC
qdisc traffic control) component can be exploited to achieve local privilege
escalation.

If a class with a link-sharing curve (i.e. with the HFSC_FSC flag set) has a
parent without a link-sharing curve, then init_vf() will call vttree_insert() on
the parent, but vttree_remove() will be skipped in update_vf(). This leaves a
dangling pointer that can cause a use-after-free.

We recommend upgrading past commit b3d26c5702c7d6c45456326e56d2ccf3f103e60f.

Comment 2 Joey Lee 2023-09-11 07:28:07 UTC 
Hi Michal, 

Because this issue relates to net/sched. Could you please help to handle it? 

If this is not in your area, just reset but assigner to kernel-bugs@suse.de. Kernel Security Sentinel will find other expert.

Thanks a lot!
