Title
net_sched: hfsc: Fix a UAF vulnerability in class handling
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net_sched: hfsc: Fix a UAF vulnerability in class handling This patch fixes a Use-After-Free vulnerability in the HFSC qdisc class handling. The issue occurs due to a time-of-check/time-of-use condition in hfsc_change_class() when working with certain child qdiscs like netem or codel. The vulnerability works as follows: 1. hfsc_change_class() checks if a class has packets (q.qlen != 0) 2. It then calls qdisc_peek_len(), which for certain qdiscs (e.g., codel, netem) might drop packets and empty the queue 3. The code continues assuming the queue is still non-empty, adding the class to vttree 4. This breaks HFSC scheduler assumptions that only non-empty classes are in vttree 5. Later, when the class is destroyed, this can lead to a Use-After-Free The fix adds a second queue length check after qdisc_peek_len() to verify the queue wasn't emptied.

El problema se produce debido a una condici\u00f3n de tiempo de comprobaci\u00f3n/tiempo de uso en hfsc_change_class() al trabajar con ciertas qdiscs secundarias como netem o codel. La vulnerabilidad funciona de la siguiente manera: 1. hfsc_change_class() verifica si una clase tiene paquetes (q.qlen != 0) 2. Luego llama a qdisc_peek_len(), que para ciertos qdiscs (por ejemplo, codel, netem) puede descartar paquetes y vaciar la cola 3.
