However grafting is\nperformed after qdisc_create (and thus the qdiscs' init callback) is\nexecuted. In qdiscs that eventually call qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog\nduring init or change (such as fq, hhf, choke, etc), an issue\narises. For example, executing the following commands:\n\nsudo tc qdisc add dev lo root handle a: htb default 2\nsudo tc qdisc add dev lo parent a: handle beef fq\n\nQdiscs such as fq, hhf, choke, etc unconditionally invoke\nqdisc_tree_reduce_backlog() in their control path init() or change() which\nthen causes a failure to find the child class; however, that does not stop\nthe unconditional invocation of the assumed child qdisc's qlen_notify with\na null class. All these qdiscs make the assumption that class is non-null.\n\nThe solution is ensure that qdisc_leaf() which looks up the parent\nclass, and is invoked prior to qdisc_create(), should return failure on\nnot finding the class.\nIn this patch, we leverage qdisc_leaf to return ERR_PTRs whenever the\nparentid doesn't correspond to a class, so that we can detect it\nearlier on and abort before qdisc_create is called.\n\n[1] https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/d912cbd7-193b-4269-9857-525bee8bbb6a@gmail.com/"}, {"lang": "es", "value": "En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: net/sched: Abort __tc_modify_qdisc si la clase padre no existe. El parche de Lion [1] revel\u00f3 un error antiguo en la API de qdisc. Siempre que un usuario crea o modifica una qdisc que especifica otra qdisc como padre, la API de qdisc detecta, durante el injerto, que el usuario no intenta asociarse a una clase y lo rechaza. Sin embargo, el injerto se realiza despu\u00e9s de ejecutar qdisc_create (y, por lo tanto, la devoluci\u00f3n de llamada de inicio de la qdisc). En las qdisc que eventualmente llaman a qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog durante la inicializaci\u00f3n o el cambio (como fq, hhf, choke, etc.), surge un problema. Por ejemplo, al ejecutar los siguientes comandos: sudo tc qdisc add dev lo root handle a: htb default 2 sudo tc qdisc add dev lo parent a: handle beef fq Las Qdisc como fq, hhf, choke, etc., invocan incondicionalmente qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog() en su ruta de control init() o change(), lo que provoca un error al no encontrar la clase hija; sin embargo, esto no detiene la invocaci\u00f3n incondicional de qlen_notify de la qdisc hija asumida con una clase nula. Todas estas qdisc asumen que la clase no es nula. La soluci\u00f3n es garantizar que qdisc_leaf(), que busca la clase padre y se invoca antes que qdisc_create(), devuelva un error al no encontrar la clase. En este parche, aprovechamos qdisc_leaf para devolver ERR_PTR siempre que el parentid no corresponda a una clase, de modo que podamos detectarlo antes y abortar antes de que se llame a qdisc_create.
