Description

cbq_classify in net/sched/sch_cbq.c in the Linux kernel through 6.1.4 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (slab-out-of-bounds read) because of type confusion (non-negative numbers can sometimes indicate a TC_ACT_SHOT condition rather than valid classification results).
An out-of-bounds (OOB) read problem was found in cbq_classify in net/sched/sch_cbq.c in the Linux kernel. This issue may allow a local attacker to cause a denial of service due to type confusion. Non-negative numbers could indicate a TC_ACT_SHOT condition rather than valid classification results.
