In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net/sched: sch_ets: don't remove idle classes from the round-robin list

Shuang reported that the following script:

1. tc qdisc add dev ddd0 handle 10: parent 1: ets bands 8 strict 4 priomap 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7
2. mausezahn ddd0 -A 10.10.10.1 -B 10.10.10.2 -c 0 -a own -b 00:c1:a0:c1:a0:00 -t udp &
3. tc qdisc change dev ddd0 handle 10: ets bands 4 strict 2 quanta 2500 2500 priomap 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3

crashes systematically when line 2) is commented:

list_del corruption, ffff8e028404bd30->next is LIST_POISON1 (dead000000000100)
