      <title>CVE-2025-21971 — net_sched: Prevent creation of classes with TC_H_ROOT</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2025-21971</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;net_sched: Prevent creation of classes with TC_H_ROOT&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The function qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog() uses TC_H_ROOT as a termination
condition when traversing up the qdisc tree to update parent backlog
counters. However, if a class is created with classid TC_H_ROOT, the
traversal terminates prematurely at this class instead of reaching the
actual root qdisc, causing parent statistics to be incorrectly maintained.
In case of DRR, this could lead to a crash as reported by Mingi Cho.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Prevent the creation of any Qdisc class with classid TC_H_ROOT
(0xFFFFFFFF) across all qdisc types, as suggested by Jamal.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
