In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: fq_pie: clamp default quantum to avoid signed overflow
fq_pie_init() sets q->quantum = psched_mtu(qdisc_dev(sch)) without
clamping. A device with a huge MTU (e.g. dummy with max_mtu == 0
accepting MTU 2147483634) makes psched_mtu() return 0x80000000, which
overflows the signed flow->deficit to INT_MIN in fq_pie_qdisc_dequeue(),
causing an infinite loop and soft lockup. Emulate fq_pie_policy which
is already bounded to [1, 1 << 20]; clamp the default to [256, 1 << 20].
256 matches fq_codel's floor and is a sane minimum for a DRR quantum.
Conditions to recreate the bug: a device whose MTU (plus
hard_header_len) wraps psched_mtu() into the sign bit (e.g. a dummy
device with max_mtu == 0 accepting MTU 2147483634). Requires
CAP_NET_ADMIN in a user namespace.
