Summary
CVE-2025-21980 affecting package kernel for versions less than 6.6.85.1-2
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

sched: address a potential NULL pointer dereference in the GRED scheduler.

If kzalloc in gredinit returns a NULL pointer, the code follows the error handling path, invoking greddestroy. This, in turn, calls gred_offload, where memset could receive a NULL pointer as input, potentially leading to a kernel crash.

When table->opt is NULL in gredinit(), gredchangetabledef() is not called yet, so it is not necessary to call ->ndosetuptc() in gred_offload().
