Threats tagged 'ghsa-6qjr-4f2g-wppr'

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's network scheduler components gred, bfifo, and plug enqueue allows a 32-bit backlog counter to wrap around when the true backlog exceeds 4 GiB. This causes the admission check to incorrectly succeed, leading to unbounded queue growth and potential out-of-memory (OOM) conditions. The issue requires root privileges and a specially crafted setup to reproduce.
