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.
