{"schema":"threatline.record/2","record":{"id":"CVE-2026-98567","aliases":[],"summary":"net: xps: reject an out of range traffic class","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnet: xps: reject an out of range traffic class\n\nOnly the entries below dev->num_tc are valid in dev->tc_to_txq[], and\ndev->prio_tc_map[] may only name classes below it. netdev_set_num_tc()\nlowers dev->num_tc without touching either array.\n\nnetdev_txq_to_tc() walks all TC_MAX_QUEUE slots and\nnetdev_get_prio_tc_map() returns the entry as it stands, so a leftover\nentry is handed out as a traffic class >= dev->num_tc. Taking that\nclass from netdev_txq_to_tc(), __netif_set_xps_queue() rejects only a\nnegative one and indexes an XPS map sized for dev->num_tc classes:\n\n\ttci = j * num_tc + tc;\n\tRCU_INIT_POINTER(new_dev_maps->attr_map[tci], map);\n\nattr_map[] holds nr_ids * num_tc entries and j runs over the ids named\nin the mask, so a class that is not below num_tc pushes tci past the end\nof the map for the last ids and the store overruns it.\n\nAny caller that lowers num_tc leaves such entries behind, and\nmqprio_destroy() tears down with netdev_set_num_tc(dev, 0) rather than\nnetdev_reset_tc(). After mqprio with 8 classes then 1, tc_to_txq[1..7]\nstill describe txq 1..7. The splat is from an XPS write to txq 2 on a\nveth with 8 rx queues: attr_map[] has 8 * 1 entries, tci = j + 2, and\nj == 6 stores one past the end of the 88-byte map:\n\n  BUG: KASAN:
