Aug 4 RESCORED — CVE-2021-47512 (Linux). CVSS 7.8 → 5.5 (NVD).
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: fq_pie: prevent dismantle issue
For some reason, fq_pie_destroy() did not copy
working code from pie_destroy() and other qdiscs,
thus causing elusive bug.
Before calling del_timer_sync(&q->adapt_timer),
we need to ensure timer will not rearm itself.
