Descriptions
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: cfg80211: restrict NL80211_ATTR_TXQ_QUANTUM values
syzbot is able to trigger softlockups, setting NL80211_ATTR_TXQ_QUANTUM
to 2^31.
We had a similar issue in sch_fq, fixed with commit
d9e15a273306 ("pkt_sched: fq: do not accept silly TCA_FQ_QUANTUM")
watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#1 stuck for 26s! [kworker/1:0:24]

---truncated---
A vulnerability was found in the cfg80211 component in the Linux kernel, where a lack of proper range validation applied to the NL80211_ATTR_TXQ_QUANTUM can lead to a scenario where the userspace passes an extremely high value that the kernel is not designed to handle efficiently (ex. 2^31). This can cause soft lockups and system instability.
