Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
8021q: delete cleared egress QoS mappings<br />
<br />
vlan_dev_set_egress_priority() currently keeps cleared egress<br />
priority mappings in the hash as tombstones. Repeated set/clear cycles<br />
with distinct skb priorities therefore accumulate mapping nodes until<br />
device teardown and leak memory.<br />
<br />
Delete mappings when vlan_prio is cleared instead of keeping tombstones.<br />
Now that the egress mapping lists are RCU protected, the node can be<br />
unlinked safely and freed after a grace period.
