Descriptions

The qdisc_notify function in net/sched/sch_api.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.35 does not prevent tc_fill_qdisc function calls referencing builtin (aka CQ_F_BUILTIN) Qdisc structures, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and OOPS) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted call.

La función qdisc_notify de net/sched/sch_api.c del kernel de Linux en versiones anteriores a la 2.6.35 no previene que la función tc_fill_qdisc haga referencia a estructuras Qdisc (CQ_F_BUILTIN) pre-construídas, lo que permite a usuarios locales provocar una denegación de servicio (resolución de puntero NULL y OOPS) o posiblemente tener otros impactos sin especificar a través de una llamada modificada.
