In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: defer qdisc freeing after failed creation
An RTM_NEWQDISC request can make clsact bind a populated shared ingress
block during ->init(), publishing an embedded mini_Qdisc to lockless
readers. If the same request has an invalid TCA_RATE, estimator setup
fails after ->init(); the unwind removes the pointer but synchronously
frees its containing qdisc while tc_run() may still hold it.
Retire failed qdiscs through the same RCU helper as normal destruction.
Inline the synchronous free into the callback now that no direct callers
remain.
