Description SMASH SMASH 2024-05-24 14:46:52 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: sched: sch: Bounds check priority

Nothing was explicitly bounds checking the priority index used to access
clpriop[]. WARN and bail out early if it's pathological. Seen with GCC 13:

../net/sched/sch_htb.c: In function 'htb_activate_prios':
../net/sched/sch_htb.c:437:44: warning: array subscript [0, 31] is outside array bounds of 'struct htb_prio[8]' [-Warray-bounds=]
  437 |                         if (p->inner.clprio[prio].feed.rb_node)
      |                             ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~
../net/sched/sch_htb.c:131:41: note: while referencing 'clprio'
  131 |                         struct htb_prio clprio[TC_HTB_NUMPRIO];
      |                                         ^~~~~~

Comment 2 Michal Hocko 2024-05-28 07:54:23 UTC
The issue doesn't really seem to be a real problem as per https://lore.kernel.org/all/Y9V3mBmLUcrEdrTV@pop-os.localdomain/

I have raised this https://lore.kernel.org/all/ZlWNaIMC3NCkIFxv@tiehlicka/T/#u

AFAICS this CVE is just invalid.
