In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: fq: clamp quantum and initial_quantum in change path
The fq change path accepts TCA_FQ_QUANTUM in [1, INT_MAX] and TCA_FQ_INITIAL_QUANTUM up to INT_MAX, while fq_init() already clamps to [1, 1<<20]. A user can override the init clamp via tc qdisc change, restoring the small-quantum deficit spin that the init clamp prevents.
Narrow iq_range.max to 1<<20 so TCA_FQ_INITIAL_QUANTUM is rejected at parse time. Clamp TCA_FQ_QUANTUM to [256, 1<<20] in fq_change() and fq_init() quantum to [256, 1<<20] for tiny-MTU devices.
Conditions to recreate the bug: CONFIG_NET_SCH_FQ=y. Requires CAP_NET_ADMIN (namespace-local via unshare -Urn suffices).
