From 524ce8b4ea8f64900b6c52b6a28df74f6bc0801e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Victor Nogueira Date: Wed, 25 Feb 2026 10:43:48 -0300 Subject: net/sched: Only allow act_ct to bind to clsact/ingress qdiscs and shared blocks commit 11cb63b0d1a0685e0831ae3c77223e002ef18189 upstream. As Paolo said earlier [1]: "Since the blamed commit below, classify can return TC_ACT_CONSUMED while the current skb being held by the defragmentation engine. As reported by GangMin Kim, if such packet is that may cause a UaF when the defrag engine later on tries to tuch again such packet." act_ct was never meant to be used in the egress path, however some users are attaching it to egress today [2]. Attempting to reach a middle ground, we noticed that, while most qdiscs are not handling TC_ACT_CONSUMED, clsact/ingress qdiscs are. With that in mind, we address the issue by only allowing act_ct to bind to clsact/ingress qdiscs and shared blocks. That way it's still possible to attach act_ct to egress (albeit only with clsact).
