NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-livepatch-5_3_18-150200_24_139-default package and not the kernel-livepatch-5_3_18-150200_24_139-default package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.2 relevant fixed versions and status.

qfq_change_class in net/sched/sch_qfq.c in the Linux kernel before 6.2.13 allows an out-of-bounds write because lmax can exceed QFQ_MIN_LMAX.
