{"id":"AZL-69027","summary":"CVE-2025-40083 affecting package kernel for versions less than 6.6.117.1-1","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnet/sched: sch_qfq: Fix null-deref in agg_dequeue\n\nTo prevent a potential crash in agg_dequeue (net/sched/sch_qfq.c)\nwhen cl-\u003eqdisc-\u003eops-\u003epeek(cl-\u003eqdisc) returns NULL, we check the return\nvalue before using it, similar to the existing approach in sch_hfsc.c.\n\nTo avoid code duplication, the following changes are made:\n\n1. Changed qdisc_warn_nonwc(include/net/pkt_sched.h) into a static\ninline function.\n\n2. Moved qdisc_peek_len from net/sched/sch_hfsc.c to\ninclude/net/pkt_sched.h so that sch_qfq can reuse it.\n\n3. Applied qdisc_peek_len in agg_dequeue to avoid crashing.","modified":"2026-04-01T05:21:31.807930Z","published":"2025-10-29T14:15:54Z","upstream":["CVE-2025-40083"],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-40083"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"kernel","ecosystem":"Azure Linux:3","purl":"pkg:rpm/azure-linux/kernel"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"6.6.117.1-1"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/microsoft/AzureLinuxVulnerabilityData/blob/main/osv/AZL-69027.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5"}
