      <title>CVE-2025-39677 — net/sched: Fix backlog accounting in qdisc_dequeue_internal</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2025-39677</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: Fix backlog accounting in qdisc_dequeue_internal&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This issue applies for the following qdiscs: hhf, fq, fq_codel, and
fq_pie, and occurs in their change handlers when adjusting to the new
limit. The problem is the following in the values passed to the
subsequent qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog call given a tbf parent:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When the tbf parent runs out of tokens, skbs of these qdiscs will
   be placed in gso_skb. Their peek handlers are qdisc_peek_dequeued,
   which accounts for both qlen and backlog. However, in the case of
   qdisc_dequeue_internal, ONLY qlen is accounted for when pulling
   from gso_skb. This means that these qdiscs are missing a
   qdisc_qstats_backlog_dec when dropping packets to satisfy the
   new limit in their change handlers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One can observe this issue with the following (with tc patched to
   support a limit of 0):&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;export TARGET=fq
   tc qdisc del dev lo root
   tc qdisc add dev lo root handle 1: tbf rate 8bit burst 100b latency 1ms
   tc qdisc replace dev lo handle 3: parent 1:1 $TARGET limit 1000
   echo &amp;#39;&amp;#39;; echo &amp;#39;add child&amp;#39;; tc -s -d qdisc show dev lo
   ping -I lo -f -c2 -s32 -W0.001 127.0.0.1 2&amp;gt;&amp;amp;1 &amp;gt;/dev/null
   echo &amp;#39;&amp;#39;; echo &amp;#39;after ping&amp;#39;; tc -s -d qdisc show dev lo
   tc qdisc change dev lo handle 3: parent 1:1 $TARGET limit 0
   echo &amp;#39;&amp;#39;; echo &amp;#39;after limit drop&amp;#39;; tc -s -d qdisc show dev lo
   tc qdisc replace dev lo handle 2: parent 1:1 sfq
   echo &amp;#39;&amp;#39;; echo &amp;#39;post g…&lt;/p&gt;</description>
