In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: hhf: clamp quantum in change and init paths
hhf_change() accepts any quantum from userspace, including 1. With a crafted size table qdisc_pkt_len reaches ~2 GiB, so quantum=1 makes the deficit-refill loop spin ~2^31 times under the qdisc lock (a soft lockup / denial of service).
Add max(256U, ...) in hhf_change() matching fq_codel_change(). Clamp hhf_init() to [256, 1<<20] matching the siblings, and remove the old fallback that only set quantum=256 on overflow.
Conditions to recreate the bug: CONFIG_NET_SCH_HHF=y. Requires CAP_NET_ADMIN (namespace-local via unshare -Urn suffices).
