Summary
CVE-2023-4921 affecting package kernel for versions less than 5.15.133.1-1
Details

A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's net/sched: sch_qfq component can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation.

When the plug qdisc is used as a class of the qfq qdisc, sending network packets triggers use-after-free in qfqdequeue() due to the incorrect .peek handler of schplug and lack of error checking in agg_dequeue().

We recommend upgrading past commit 8fc134fee27f2263988ae38920bc03da416b03d8.
