[PATCH net] net/sched: mqprio: fix stack out-of-bounds write in tc entry parsing

From: Maher Azzouzi
Date: Tue Jul 22 2025 - 11:51:44 EST


From: MaherAzzouzi <maherazz04@xxxxxxxxx>

TCA_MQPRIO_TC_ENTRY_INDEX is validated using
NLA_POLICY_MAX(NLA_U32, TC_QOPT_MAX_QUEUE), which allows the value
TC_QOPT_MAX_QUEUE (16). This leads to a 4-byte out-of-bounds stack write in
the fp[] array, which only has room for 16 elements (0–15).

Fix this by changing the policy to allow only up to TC_QOPT_MAX_QUEUE - 1.

Fixes: f62af20bed2d ("net/sched: mqprio: allow per-TC user input of FP adminStatus")
