Vulnerability CVE-2021-47419

Published: 2024-05-21

Description:

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

net/sched: sch_taprio: properly cancel timer from taprio_destroy()

There is a comment in qdisc_create() about us not calling ops->reset()
in some cases.

err_out4:
/*
* Any broken qdiscs that would require a ops->reset() here?
* The qdisc was never in action so it shouldn't be necessary.
*/

As taprio sets a timer before actually receiving a packet, we need
to cancel it from ops->destroy, just in case ops->reset has not
been called.
