Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
net_sched: drr: Fix double list add in class with netem as child qdisc<br />
<br />
As described in Gerrard&#39;s report [1], there are use cases where a netem<br />
child qdisc will make the parent qdisc&#39;s enqueue callback reentrant.<br />
In the case of drr, there won&#39;t be a UAF, but the code will add the same<br />
classifier to the list twice, which will cause memory corruption.<br />
<br />
In addition to checking for qlen being zero, this patch checks whether the<br />
class was already added to the active_list (cl_is_active) before adding<br />
to the list to cover for the reentrant case.<br />
