F5-K000138726: High severity f5 traffix systems signaling delivery controller vulnerability

Published Mar 1, 2024
·
Updated

An out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the Linux kernel's net/sched: schqfq component can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation. The qfqchangeagg() function in net/sched/schqfq.c allows an out-of-bounds write because lmax is updated according to packet sizes without bounds checks. We recommend upgrading past commit 3e337087c3b5805fe0b8a46ba622a962880b5d64.
