CVE-2026-90050NVD

Vulnerability Summary

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

net/sched: fq: clamp quantum and initial_quantum in change path

The fq change path accepts TCA_FQ_QUANTUM in [1, INT_MAX] and
TCA_FQ_INITIAL_QUANTUM up to INT_MAX, while fq_init() already clamps to
[1, 1<<20]. A user can override the init clamp via tc qdisc change,
restoring the small-quantum deficit spin that the init clamp prevents.

Narrow iq_range.max to 1<<20 so TCA_FQ_INITIAL_QUANTUM is rejected at
parse time. Clamp TCA_FQ_QUANTUM to [256, 1<<20] in fq_change() and
fq_init() quantum to [256, 1<<20] for tiny-MTU devices.

Conditions to recreate the bug:
CONFIG_NET_SCH_FQ=y. Requires CAP_NET_ADMIN (namespace-local via
unshare -Urn suffices).
