{"schema":"threatline.record/2","record":{"id":"CVE-2026-97958","aliases":[],"summary":"net/sched: cls_api: Don't replay RTM_GETCHAIN in tc_ctl_chain().","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnet/sched: cls_api: Don't replay RTM_GETCHAIN in tc_ctl_chain().\n\nIf a netlink socket sends RTM_GETCHAIN requests repeatedly\nwithout recv()ing the responses, tc_ctl_chain() hogs CPU and\ntriggers Hung Task splat. [0]\n\nAs caught in the stack trace, netlink_attachskb() could confuse\ntc_ctl_chain() by returning -EAGAIN when the userspace netlink\nsocket's receive buffer is full.\n\nThe replay: label exists since commit 32a4f5ecd738 (\"net: sched:\nintroduce chain object to uapi\") but was not used initially.\n\nSince commit 9f407f1768d3 (\"net: sched: introduce chain templates\"),\nthe label is needed for RTM_NEWCHAIN because tcf_proto_lookup_ops()\nmay release RTNL to call request_module().\n\nHowever, the replay logic is unnecessary for RTM_GETCHAIN.\n\nLet's apply the replay logic only for RTM_NEWCHAIN.\n\n[0]:\nINFO: task repro:1018 is blocked on a mutex likely owned by task repro:1022.\ntask:repro           state:R  running task     stack:14096 pid:1022  tgid:1014  ppid:961
