{"id":"DEBIAN-CVE-2024-50039","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  net/sched: accept TCA_STAB only for root qdisc  Most qdiscs maintain their backlog using qdisc_pkt_len(skb) on the assumption it is invariant between the enqueue() and dequeue() handlers.  Unfortunately syzbot can crash a host rather easily using a TBF + SFQ combination, with an STAB on SFQ [1]  We can't support TCA_STAB on arbitrary level, this would require to maintain per-qdisc storage.
