In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: sched: sfb: fix null pointer access issue when sfb_init() fails
When the default qdisc is sfb, if the qdisc of dev_queue fails to be
inited during mqprio_init(), sfb_reset() is invoked to clear resources.
In this case, the q->qdisc is NULL, and it will cause gpf issue.
The process is as follows:
qdisc_create_dflt()
sfb_init()
tcf_block_get() --->failed, q->qdisc is NULL
...
qdisc_put()
...
sfb_reset()
qdisc_reset(q->qdisc) --->q->qdisc is NULL
ops = qdisc->ops
The following is the Call Trace information:
