CVE-2025-38115 Information

Description

In the Linux kernel the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net_sched: sch_sfq: fix a potential crash on gso_skb handling

SFQ has an assumption of always being able to queue at least one packet.

However after the blamed commit sch->q.len can be inflated by packets in sch->gso_skb and an enqueue() on an empty SFQ qdisc can be followed by an immediate drop.

Fix sfq_drop() to properly clear q->tail in this situation.
