Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/sched: hhf: clamp quantum before hhf_change() to avoid overflow hhf_init() sets q->quantum = psched_mtu(qdisc_dev(sch)) with no overflow check. A device with a huge MTU (e.g. dummy with max_mtu == 0 accepting MTU 2147483634) makes weight * quantum overflow the signed deficit in hhf_dequeue(), spinning forever. Clamp q->quantum before hhf_change() so both the opt and !opt paths see a sane quantum. Without this, bare "tc qdisc add ... hhf" succeeds with a clamped quantum but "tc qdisc add ... hhf limit 1000" (any option present) fails with -EINVAL because hhf_change() re-validates the unclamped default (sch_hhf.c:559). 256 matches fq_codel's floor and is a sane minimum for a DRR quantum. Conditions to recreate the bug: a device whose MTU (plus hard_header_len) wraps psched_mtu() into the sign bit (e.g. a dummy device with max_mtu == 0 accepting MTU 2147483634). Requires CAP_NET_ADMIN in a user namespace.
