Summary
CVE-2026-98013 affecting package kernel 6.6.157.1-1
Details

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

net/sched: fq_pie: clamp quantum in change path

fq_pie_change() accepts any quantum value from userspace, including 1. With a crafted size table qdisc_pkt_len reaches ~2 GiB, so quantum=1 makes the deficit-refill loop spin ~2^31 times under the qdisc lock (a soft lockup / denial of service).

Add max(256U, ...) matching fq_codel_change().

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