CVE-2026-98567
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: xps: reject an out of range traffic class
Only the entries below dev->num_tc are valid in dev->tc_to_txq[], and
dev->prio_tc_map[] may only name classes below it. netdev_set_num_tc()
lowers dev->num_tc without touching either array.
netdev_txq_to_tc() walks all TC_MAX_QUEUE slots and
netdev_get_prio_tc_map() returns the entry as it stands, so a leftover
entry is handed out as a traffic class >= dev->num_tc. Taking that
class from netdev_txq_to_tc(), __netif_set_xps_queue() rejects only a
negative one and indexes an XPS map sized for dev->num_tc classes:
tci = j * num_tc + tc;
RCU_INIT_POINTER(new_dev_maps->attr_map[tci], map);
attr_map[] holds nr_ids * num_tc entries and j runs over the ids named
in the mask, so a class that is not below num_tc pushes tci past the end
of the map for the last ids and the store overruns it.
Any caller that lowers num_tc leaves such entries behind, and
mqprio_destroy() tears down with netdev_set_num_tc(dev, 0) rather than
netdev_reset_tc(). After mqprio with 8 classes then 1, tc_to_txq[1..7]
still describe txq 1..7. The splat is from an XPS write to txq 2 on a
veth with 8 rx queues: attr_map[] has 8 * 1 entries, tci = j + 2, and
j == 6 stores one past the end of the 88-byte map:
