A crafted stab can therefore set qdisc_pkt_len()\nto ~1 GiB for an ordinary skb. Per-flow deficit schedulers such as\nDRR and ETS replenish one quantum per loop iteration; with a tiny\nquantum (1) they spin billions of times under the qdisc lock,\nproducing a soft lockup / RCU stall as illustrated by vega@nebusec.ai.\n\nCap the final qdisc_pkt_len() to QDISC_PKT_LEN_MAX so the size-table\namplification cannot drive deficit schedulers into an unbounded loop.\nA legitimate size table (e.g. qfq's overhead 999999999, which is\nhandled by dropping) is still accepted.\n\nIntroduce cap QDISC_PKT_LEN_MAX (1 << 20) = 1 MiB which is well above\nany legitimate single-skb wire length: the largest current skb->len\nis GSO_MAX_SIZE (524280), and an ATM-style size table (53/48 cell tax)\namplifies that to ~578 KB, both comfortably below 1 MiB. At the same\ntime, 1 MiB bounds the deficit refill loop to ~1M iterations per\npacket with quantum=1, which completes in a few milliseconds well\nunder the demonstrated softlockup threshold (~10^9 iterations).\n\nConditions to recreate the bug:\n- CONFIG_NET_SCHED=y, CONFIG_NET_SCH_DRR=y (or CONFIG_NET_SCH_ETS=y).\n- Attach a DRR (or ETS) root qdisc with a crafted TCA_STAB that\n amplifies qdisc_pkt_len to ~1 GiB (e.g. size_log=15, data=[32768]).\n- Add a class with a tiny quantum of 1 and send one small packet; the\n deficit loop spins billions of times under the qdisc lock and trips\n the softlockup detector (panic with kernel.softlockup_panic=1).\n- Reachable as root or from an unprivileged user in a fresh user+net\n namespace (unshare -Urn) with namespace-local CAP_NET_ADMIN.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-09-17T16:05:43.184+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-19T08:57:15.626+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor product","name":"Linux","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n \"product\": \"Linux\",\n \"vendor\": \"Linux\",\n \"defaultStatus\": \"unaffected\",\n \"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\",\n \"programFiles\": [\n \"include/net/pkt_sched.h\",\n \"net/sched/sch_api.c\"\n ],\n \"versions\": [\n {\n \"version\": \"1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2\",\n \"lessThan\": \"4f0f4b09a95ef602fbdae948326beadd9c20eab3\",\n \"status\": \"affected\",\n \"versionType\": \"git\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2\",\n \"lessThan\": \"0bc5a6280a132a2170c6fa742436e01b635f02de\",\n \"status\": \"affected\",\n \"versionType\": \"git\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2\",\n \"lessThan\": \"448c34421b38ec7c93a0060a885218ca319d382b\",\n \"status\": \"affected\",\n \"versionType\": \"git\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2\",\n \"lessThan\": \"82fdbf49b9f7528c82bf608cfa9710e5f81a198c\",\n \"status\": \"affected\",\n \"versionType\": \"git\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2\",\n \"lessThan\": \"6e78792d8ce1fa3561713860ee8086901dde4f99\",\n \"status\": \"affected\",\n \"versionType\": \"git\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2\",\n \"lessThan\": \"1a5c26e586481bc82abc19ac92c3d9f10518f525\",\n \"status\": \"affected\",\n \"versionType\": \"git\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2\",\n \"lessThan\": \"16d21a27df3f50b7251c9388fc5a7ab22703b469\",\n \"status\": \"affected\",\n \"versionType\": \"git\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2\",\n \"lessThan\": \"8f735d64382dcf162f4276d6699d03ad2f859c0b\",\n \"status\": \"affected\",\n \"versionType\": \"git\"\n }\n ]\n }"},{"ecosystem":"Vendor product","name":"Linux","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n \"product\": \"Linux\",\n \"vendor\": \"Linux\",\n \"defaultStatus\": \"affected\",\n \"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\",\n \"programFiles\": [\n \"include/net/pkt_sched.h\",\n \"net/sched/sch_api.c\"\n ],\n \"versions\": [\n {\n \"version\": \"2.6.12\",\n \"status\": \"affected\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"0\",\n \"lessThan\": \"2.6.12\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"5.10.270\",\n \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"5.10.*\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"5.15.221\",\n \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"5.15.*\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"6.1.188\",\n \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.1.*\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"6.6.157\",\n \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.6.*\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"6.12.110\",\n \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.12.*\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"6.18.52\",\n \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.18.*\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"7.2.6\",\n \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"7.2.*\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"7.3\",\n \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"*\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"original_commit_for_fix\"\n }\n ]\n }"}],"metrics":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4f0f4b09a95ef602fbdae948326beadd9c20eab3","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0bc5a6280a132a2170c6fa742436e01b635f02de","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/448c34421b38ec7c93a0060a885218ca319d382b","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/82fdbf49b9f7528c82bf608cfa9710e5f81a198c","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6e78792d8ce1fa3561713860ee8086901dde4f99","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1a5c26e586481bc82abc19ac92c3d9f10518f525","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/16d21a27df3f50b7251c9388fc5a7ab22703b469","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8f735d64382dcf162f4276d6699d03ad2f859c0b"],"sourceUrl":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-90058","license":"CVE Program Terms of Use","key":"cve-program:CVE-2026-90058","identifiers":["CVE-2026-90058"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[{"source":"cisa-kev:global","scope":"Complete CISA KEV catalog;
